1958 - Roanoke Landmark In Southeast Area Is Being Razed

[NW Mailing List]

Was this not the home of C. E. Churchill, the chief civil engineer of the
N&W until his 'retirement' to head the valuation department in 1920?

Roanoke Landmark In Southeast Area Is Being Razed

   Another Roanoke landmark will soon be gone.

   The house at Orchard Hill and Mountain Ave., SE, for many years 
the home of the late C. S. Churchill, vice president of the Norfolk 
and Western Railway, is now being razed.

   Lynn R. Hammond, owner of the property, said plans for the use of 
the site are indefinite.
