620 Main Street - York Theatre was originally run by my grandfather Thomas Jefferson Gaddy back in the early 1900's. My grandmother Emma Gaddy ran it for awhile after Tom died. My mother and aunt (Charlotte and Mary Lee Gaddy) grew up in West Point and graduated at the West Point High School. We believe that my grandmother sold it after awhile and then moved back to Richmond VA with her daughter Charlotte. My sisters and I are still trying to find out any further information on the Gaddy family when they lived in West Point. If anyone has any information at all, please contact me.

Family legend has it that this was one of the few banks that did not fail during the depression. The bank directors arranged for additional cash to be on hand, backing with their personal funds. After a few days, when people realized their withdrawals would be honored, there was no more run on the bank. M. P. Chandler was one of the directors at that time. |

Building date: The deed I have states thst my grandfather purchased the property on June 6, 1906 from Maria H. Morton.There is a long story that goes with this property. It includes the Herndons' graves, fire of 1903 and how the Smith's took almost a year to rebuild on this property. Home started on July 1, 1906 and moved in on May 1, 1907.
Home was sold to Jimmy & Sally Mayo on March 28, 1929. My Grandparents had bottling company in carriage house in back (West Bottling Works - Pepsi-Cola, built 1908). My father, Joseph F.

First comment: Lot was purchased from the estate of E. E. Marshall (Vera's) Mother on May 8, 1920 and home was built that year. Lot 366 was purchased on January 7, 1921.
John and Vera raised 6 children here and lost a son Samuel Duncan, age 15, when he fell off an ice truck. The little room on left was built for Vera as her room away from her children. She attended school in England and taught school. There were yellow roses growing on left front porch her favorite planted by her husband. After children left home, right side of home was made into apartment. John died April 11, 1945 and Vera died in little room on left April 21, 1964.
Second comment:
My wife and I just moved into the old John and Vera Asher house a couple weeks ago. The house is currently a rental property of John Butler and has been extensively renovated and converted from apartments back into the seven bedroom house that the Ashers built.
I was interested to see that the construction date on the house was constructed in 1921. Prior to us moving in, Mr. Butler removed all of the first level flooring and found evidence to lead us to believe that the house was constructed much earlier, between 1880 and 1890. Various construction techniques that were used then and were obsolete by 1921. I'm not trying to discredit the previous post but I was wondering if the historical society knew of any other structures present on lot 366? Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Asher used an existing structure as the framework for their house.
Any info on our home or the Ashers please email me here.
Third comment:
I will be glad to discuss this property with current owner. I have the deeds to this property. Vera's parents had a home on the property until the fire of 1903. The properties on the block from 6th to 7th Streets have a lot of history. You can contact me here.
Fourth comment:
This house was also owned by Charlie and Ann Carlton. Charlie was the town firechief.
My grandmother, Luella Freeman lived in the downstairs apartment that included the small room in the 70's. The small room was her bedroom. Mrs. Green lived in the upstairs apartment. She worked in the shoe department at Leggett's. |

-------------------------------------
The Mayo sisters were my cousins. I liked nothing better than to visit them on a Sunday afternoon and listen to their anecdotes of life in West Point. Dorothy worked for Citizens and Farmers Bank and Margaret worked for the hardware store up by the bridge (can't remember its name). Neither one drove; neither married. The water tower was in the back yard (visible in the photo) and the police station was next door. The ceilings were very low and I remember my father having to duck his head when he went in the entrance. |

 | Street address: 303 Main StreetComments: Historic name: Home - William E. Mitchell; Store - Mitchell's Store
Current name: Mr. & Mrs. H.J. Gedro
Building date: ca. 1850
Original store on Main Street believed to be the first store in West Point.
This interesting old house on Third and main near Kirby Street is a rare one in that it probably antedates the incorporation of the town. It was the residence of William Mitchell, and legal records indicate it could have been built in the 1850s when construction had begun on the Richmond & York River Railroad. It was sold recently by R. Tyler Bland III to Herman Joseph Gedro. Mr. Bland restored the house to its present condition. |

All I know about my house is that it was built around 1900 an apparently was moved to this location from somewhere else. |
