This was a neighborhood grocery store, according to locals. Floyd Cross adds: Originally this was a Country Store for sharecroppers on nearby farms. It was built by Evans Knight. Later it became a grocery that sold primarily beer & a little kerosene & gas, in a “dry” county. It was known as Milton Coleman’s Take Out.

First Presbyterian Church, 1884, Waynesboro
Dating to the colonial era, the First Presbyterian Church of Waynesboro was founded in 1760 with the establishment of a church on Briar Creek (Episcopalian) and another on Walnut Branch. The present church grew out of the union of these two churches in 1812. The present structure, the third to serve the congregation on this site, was dedicated in 1884.

Wilkins House, Circa 1900, Waynesboro
This home is as difficult to photograph as its architectural style is to define. It is much more Eclectic than Victorian. Built for William Archibald Wilkins, who was a Confederate major and mayor of Waynesboro, it hosted President William Howard Taft during a visit to the city in 1910. It is also known as the Wilkins-Hagood House.

Wisteria Hall, Circa 1900, Waynesboro
Known locally as Wisteria Hall for the design of a stained glass panel on the stairway landing featuring wisteria and two birds in flight, this magnificent Neoclassical Revival landmark was built for Waynesboro merchant Enon E. Chance. [The date of 1909 comes from the National Register of Historic Places nomination form; a sign in front of the house dates it to 1900. I’m not sure why there is a discrepancy, though this is a common issue with historic homes].

Though this great little house has a slightly Victorian appearance, I believe its origins are earlier, perhaps as a vernacular Greek Revival.
