Henry owned Hoots Mill in Yadkin County. The deed described the property as being on “the new road.”
  • Zeno sold the property in 1930 to his brother Guy Andrew Hoots (1891-1971) and wife Lillian Russell Hoots (1898-1987). The two brothers had moved to Winston-Salem in 1923 and started Hoots Brothers Inc., distributors of flour and feed. Around 1935, Zeno established Hoots Milling Company in Winston-Salem. Its roller mill is listed on the National Register. In 1951, Zeno made the first contribution to build the Lula Conrad Hoots Memorial Hospital in Yadkinville, named for his first wife.
  • In 1940, Guy and Lillian sold the house to Guy’s brother Ronald S. “Rant” Hoots (1900-1987). Rant sold it back to them in 1944.
  • In 1954, Guy and Lillian sold the house to their daughter Dorothy Ann Hoots McCollum (1932-2024) and son-in-law Coy Monroe McCollum (1929-2017). Coy worked at R.J. Reynolds and after retiring worked in real estate. Dorothy taught just down the road at Forbush Elementary School for 35 years and was a part-time choir director for 50 years. She sold the house in 2022.

• Last sale: $278,000, May 2019
• Neighborhood: West End Historic District (local and NR)
• District NR nomination: “Like the Lott-Woodall House next door, the Paschal House adopts an unusual form to fit the odd shape of its lot. In most respects it appears to be a typical bungalow of its period. It is a one-and-a-half-story frame house with coursed 1qood shingle siding, a broad gable roof with overhanging braced eaves, a large front hipped dormer, and an engaged porch with heavy shingled end posts and a plain balustrade,
  • “Convention is dismissed on the south side of the house, however, where the back slope of the gable is ‘chopped off’ and recessed toward the center of the house before continuing its downward slope, and is then recessed again, creating a rather modern effect. The house is complemented by the stone retaining wall at the sidewalk and by the double flight of front steps.
  • “Although William J. Paschal, manager of the Southern Mirror Co., acquired the property in 1916, he and his wife, Stella, were not listed at this location in the city directories until 1921. The Paschals owned the house until 1943.”
  • William Jennings Paschal (1886-1960) served two terms on the city Board of Aldermen. “Mr. Paschal spent 47 years in the mirror manufacturing business and was recognized as one of the outstanding men in the business in this part of the country,” the Winston-Salem Journal said.
  • Stella Farrow Paschal (1887-1963) was a 1905 graduate of Salem College. She taught in the city schools until she and William married in 1912.

  • Mary Altah Pickett Walker (1895-1978) bought the lot in 1922 and owned it for 55 years. She was married, to John Harris Walker Jr. (1898-1978), but only her name appeared on the deed. John was a bookkeeper for Beeson Hardware Company. She, or perhaps they, built the house soon after.
  • Altah bought the adjoining lot in 1946. The 1946 deed describes the second lot as adjoining the land of John Walker, not Altah, even though only Altah’s name was on the 1922 deed (her name alone was on the 1946 deed as well).

• District NR nomination: “The Bailey House is a one-and-a-half-story, brick-veneered, Period Cottage-style dwelling. The house has many distinctive features, among which are the clipped-gable primary roof and the steep front gable encompassing the south two bays of the four-bay façade.
  • “The front gable has a round-arched window under the peak and its north roof slope swoops downward to the side of the chimney. The front chimney is decorated with rusticated-stone inserts and terra cotta chimney pots. The front entrance is immediately north of the chimney and is accentuated by a steep gable above it. Two rusticated stone blocks are at the base of the gable, and above the door is a round-arched fanlight. A band of header bricks outlines the door and its fanlight. Immediately adjacent to the entrance on the right is an engaged porch with heavy brick posts.
  • “Concrete steps with brick side walls access the entrance and a relatively narrow terrace that carries across the façade from the porch southward to the north end of the south bay. Windows are one-over-one sash; the small, horizontal window south of the chimney likely was filled originally with diamond muntins. The small weatherboarded front dormer with broad gable roof and side-sliding window may be an addition.
  • “At the rear of the house is a brick-veneered garage with a front-gable roof that was likely built at the same time as the house. “However, a tall picket prevented a full view of the garage, so that it could not be recorded and evaluated.”
  • Harry Freed “Bill” Bailey (1902-1961) and Geneva Marie Hauser Bailey (1907-2003) purchased the property in 1934. Geneva sold it in 1995. Harry worked in the construction department of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco.

• Note: The sale was recorded in a very peculiar deed. It was filed February 6, 2026, but it’s dated almost eight months earlier, June 13, 2025. After the latter date, online sources show the house was still for sale by the original sellers, going under contract twice and then relisted before a third offer was accepted in January 2026, seven months after the house was supposedly sold. Three weeks later, the deed was finally filed. Bonus weird fact: The notary who signed the deed last June is in Pennsylvania.
• District NR nomination: “Bungalow, Residence, 1925-30”
  • The address first appears in the 1925 city directory, listed as vacant. In August 1925, the property was bought by William Henry Rees (1860-1936) and Alice Wolfe Rees (1860-1936), and they were shown living there in 1926. William was a salesman for H.W. Clendenin & Son, a real-estate firm. He had been assistant postmaster of Greensboro for 15 years.
  • Shortly before their deaths in 1936, they sold the house to their daughter Mary Reese Harrison (1896-1966) and son-in-law William Sandidge Harrison (1895-1965). William was manager of the Carolina Maytag Sales Corp. Mary and William lived in the house for the rest of their lives. It was sold by Mary’s estate in 1967.
