Did you know?A doctor's house and office, half built in 1925
From the National Register nomination
One-story single-family dwelling of asbestos-shingled frame construction on a poured-concrete foundation, with a corrugated-metal-panel gable roof extended on the south side to cover a one-story polygonal bay, and two brick flues. Other features of the house include a single-leaf modern flush door with angled windows, 1/1 double-hung wood windows, and a one-story, three-bay front porch with metal replacement supports. At the rear of the house are two shed additions and a steep flight of stairs down to grade level. The lot slopes from front to rear, and has a poured-concrete walk and steps from the street to the entry. The 1925 Sanborn map shows the foundation of the house completed, and the house itself is completed by 1930. The house was built by Dr. Hilton and also used as his office. The E. F. Woodson family lived here in 1935. (Randolph and Bass, "Waynesboro Port Republic Road Historic District;" Lilly Mae Johnson.)
Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
