THE HOME

c. 1920; 2 stories, brick over 1842 dogtrot, Neo-Classical Revival, central portico with Ionic columns

In the early 1920's Mrs. Ida Wallis Elliott purchased this house, and through major reconstruction, created the Ionic Greek Revival motif you see today. Mrs. Elliott's husband passed, leaving her with three small children. After teaching school for a time, Mrs. Elliott's interest in travel prompted her to found Elliott Tours, which grew into one of the world's largest agencies at the time. Mrs. Elliot added a marble porch and interior marble staircase, among other improvements. The house was sold to the Robb Family in 1964.
