Dr. Johnson began his practice here after receiving a medical degree from Howard University in 1911. He and Dr. Jackson each built a house with a central door to the home and end door to an office. His wife Peachie Carr, a Jefferson School teacher, was president of Virginia State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs from 1954 to 1958. After Dr. Johnson’s death “Miss Peachie” remained in the home many years with her second husband, Minor F. Jackson.
