822 Broad St., 1980.
The unusual house at 822 Broad St. was built prior to 1913, most likely by Joseph Whitfield, who lived in the house during the 1910s. Whitfield was a machinist who became a Quarry Superintendent with the City Engineering Department in the late 1920s.
The house is unusual for the materials employed - brick facing with stucco gables, each with leaded glass oval windows.
Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield lived in the house until the late 1940s, when it appears that only his wife continued to live in the house. By 1952, it was occupied by Marcus Edgerton, who continued to live in the house into the 1960s.

The small storefront building sits in the rear yard, facing Green St., which was known as the "B Street Grocery" and operated by Salley Pulley during the mid-20th century.
