This Queen Anne was built for Bank of Wrightsville president R. L. Kent by W. C. Chester, Sr. The home was restored in the 1980s by Reverend Ernest Veal. Marcie Dickerson writes: Visited this home many times growing up, beautiful inside and out. Pastor Veal, was the minister of the Wrightsville Charge for many years. I was baptized and married by him. Our youth group (Maple Springs Methodist Church) were frequently their guest on Sunday afternoons for refreshments and social activities. Many, many, antiques and oddities inside the home, including a Victrola that supplied entertainment for all.

Quite a history lesson on the home, as well as the previous owners.
Best regards.
Thanks for sharing, Marcie!
Beautiful house.
