Virgie I. Masters House - Women’s Health Focus - 738 South Main Street
738 South Main St

Built: 1920s

Demolished: September 2015

Colonial Revival two-story house of stuccoed tile block with an asphalt-shingled gable roof. Sanborn maps present a confusing sequence of events for this house. A house of almost identical form is portrayed on the 1924 and 1930 maps, although on the 1924 map the house is shown as frame and on the 1930 and later maps it is shown as tile block. Perhaps the house was rebuilt on the foundation of an earlier house; its outward appearance dates mostly to the 1920s period. Virgie I. Masters lived here in 1955. Later Rockingham Memorial Hospital Women's Health Focus.
