HAUNTED HOUSE ON MILLIONAIRES' ROW - a photo on Flickriver

            DANVILLE VA: MILLIONAIRES' ROW: THE CHARLES M. SUBLETT HOUSE:  This architectural fantasy of a dream house was built in 1874 by Mr. Sublett for his bride, the former Jennie Cosby. 

This house, a rare example of a fully developed mansion in the High Victorian Gothic Style, boasts rich details such as the pointed arched windows, corbeled cornices, finials and corner engaged columns.

Dominating the composition is a 3 1/2 story central tower with a wedge-like Chatequesque roof. 

A significant feature is the lace-like iron work front porch with curved mansard roof. The house is of great importance to the neighborhood, rare in incidence in the area, and outstanding architectural significance to the historic district.

This home stands at 878 Main Street.

-----------------------------------

Millionaire's Row is the most impressive area in Danville. It has many fine homes built in the 19th century and early 20th century by descendants of American planters. They are beautiful mansions adorned by trees lining the streets and peppered about the yards of these beautiful homes. The entire area around "Penn's Bottom", the nickname for the part of Main St that experienced heavy growth as the first suburb of Danville during the Tobacco boom, has been designated as a historic district.
