THE EPISCOPAL RECTORY C1887

Vernacular; square posts, bracketed eaves, turned balustrade.  Originally owned by Beverly W. Stras, it was the earliest Rectory until 1920 when the church sold it to Dr. J. N. Higgenbottom.  He, in turn, conveyed it to Miss Ella Cox in 1944.

Identified by the name of an early resident who was the first elected county treasurer.  His son was a member of the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency which was a participant in the disputes between owners and miners in the nearby coal fields.  When local "coal baron" W. F. Harmon bought the property in 1922, he enlarged and renovated the house in the Colonial Revival style.  The expansive porch features paired Tuscan columns.   The entrance door has sidelights and an elliptical fanlight over it.  The landscaping is noteworthy, having been planned and developed by Carol Biggs who is the current resident along with her husband John E. Biggs, III

The style is vernacular.  Slender Tuscan columns on piers, turned balusters, metal roof cresting on deck atop a hipped roof, and a recessed entrance bay with sawnwork are features.  Alexander St. Clair who owned extensive lands at St Clairs crossing near Graham  (now Bluefield VA) built this home at the county seat in order for his young daughter Maria to attend the local school.

A very tall pine tree once stood at the west side of the house, lending its name to the street (which had been formerly called Mechanics Avenue.)

THE C. R. BROWN HOUSE c1903

This Queen Anne style house was built for Reverend C. R. Brown and his wife, the daughter of a West Virginia "Coal Baron" for whom the community of Coopers was named.  It is flanked by two brick  homes built in the 1920's, one for the daughter (now painted white, Georgian in style) who married Sam D. May, Jr., who became the State Highway Commissioner in the 1950's.  It is now the home of one of  Tazewell's past  Mayors, Charles Green, III.  The other brick home was for the son Robert Brown, Jr.  It is a Colonial Revival in style; fluted Tuscan columns at the porch, dormers with round-arched windows, and a front door with elliptical fanlight and sidelights are features.

Known as Chapman Hall in honor of Mrs. Boyer's family, this Queen Anne style house now serves the Methodist Church as a fellowship-education addition.  Unique features include the paired Ionic columns with pediment at entrance bay, a recessed bay second-story porch with Ionic columns, which create an asymmetrical appearance

Hundreds, if not thousands, of photographs were taken in the late 19th century and early 20th century of locations and people in Tazewell County.  A great many were catalogued and published by the Tazewell County Historical Society, and also by the Library of Virginia.
