Rountree House, 1950s, Twin City

I call this a “Central Hallway House” for lack of a better term or more knowledge of its history, but I believe this house is quite historic. It has double chimneys on the south side.

Charlie Elliott writes: This was my maternal grandmother’s home, Dora Bell Hall Rountree. The first house here, built by her father-in-law, James Rountree, who founded Summit (one-half of Twin City) burned in 1954. This “new” house was built to take its place. The front porch was enclosed at a later date.
