Description
The 1951 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for Danville indicates that 328 N. Union was a two-story frame dwelling with two one-story rear additions. A large two-story shop with the address of 326 N. Union took up the southeast corner of the primary/south elevation and extended all the way to the street. All roofing was slate or tin, with the exception of the rear/northernmost addition, which had a composition roof. A one-story front porch stretched across the front/south elevation of the house, terminating at the west wall of the shop. A very large one-story building, possibly a stable, took up the rear/north half of the property alongside the Dan River.
This was a very commercial area, with a veterinary hospital immediately to the west, followed by a tin shop and then the Riverside & Dan River Cotton Mills. To the east stood two more shops, a restaurant, bus depot, and filling station.
