  • “It is a fine example of traditional, vernacular houses built in the Piedmont during the early 20th century,” the county’s description of the house says. “It is a two-story frame dwelling with an L-shaped configuration and Colonial Revival detailing. The house features a brick foundation and weatherboard siding.
  • “The gabled roof is pierced by interior brick chimneys. A one-story, gable-roof rear ell projects westward from the northwest corner of the house. The windows are two-over-two sash, and most have the original wood louvered shutters.
  • “On the front façade of the house, a shed-roof porch supported by Tuscan columns covers the three-bay façade and wraps around the projecting left front wing. The central entrance is composed of a pair of glass-and-wood paneled doors.
  • “At the southwest corner of the property stands a frame granary that was probably constructed around the same time as the house.”
  • John Henry Pfaff (1858-1949) was the great grandson of Peter Pfaff (1724-1804), the town’s namesake. After working in stores in Winston-Salem and Bethania, John Henry came home and opened a store of his own in 1891. It operated until 1972 at the corner of Yadkinville Road and Pfaff Lane.
  • “Pfaff’s store sold groceries, general merchandise, sewing machines, watches and clocks, gasoline, Goodyear tires, Ford automobile parts, and Johnson Harvester machinery, such as reapers, mowing machines, hay rakes, and plows. Highly esteemed in the community and known for his benevolent spirit and deeds, Pfaff operated his store until the mid 1940s, a few years before his death” at age 91.
  • Late in life, he was faced with choosing between two daughters, who didn’t get along, to inherit the house. Brilliantly, he left it to his sons to decide after his death. It would be interesting to know how the brothers felt about their sisters; from their Solomon-like decision, it’s impossible to tell.
  • “They had the property resurveyed, with a dividing line running through the center hall of the house. Louise received the portion of the house located north of the line, while Anna received the part south of the line.” How well the arrangement suited the sisters isn’t documented, but it lasted for 34 years, until both died in 1983.
  • The property was left to Louise’s children (Anna was unmarried). In 1988, they sold it to new owners who restored it.

She had no children and never remarried. (Effie did have a step-daughter, Fannie Anderson Sutton, but may not have raised her. Fannie’s mother died at age 30 in 1910, when Fannie was four years old. Fannie lived to be 99, dying in 2006 at her home at Well-Spring Retirement Community.)
  • Effie owned the house until February 9, 1946; she died eight days later at the age of 61.
  • Her husband, William Irvin Anderson (1878-1914), died at age 35 while having his appendix taken out. He was the founder and owner of W.I. Anderson Produce at 245 E. Friendly Avenue.

Jennie’s parents, George Wesley and Martha Williams Taylor Johnson, gave the couple land in Farmington that included two small houses (formerly slave quarters according to oral tradition) at the time of their marriage on December 6, 1865. The Bahnsons initially resided on Johnson family property (which is now Tanglewood Park), but moved to Farmington and joined the two existing dwellings to create their home, which they occupied in August 1867.”
  • “The young couple established a successful farm on the land her parents gave them in Farmington, and Charles opened a small office and jewelry shop in a one-room building adjacent to their home. He also traveled throughout the region offering watch repair and optometry services in county seats on court days.”

  • “The 1912 Sanborn Hap shows a one-story house on this site, but in 1917 the present house was depicted on the map.
  • “Until at least 1930 it was the residence of Cary L. and Lettie Carroll. He was a bookkeeper for Crawford Plumbing and Hill Supply.” Cary (1880-1959) also worked at various times as chief clerk for Union Guano Company, a fertilizer firm, and in real estate. He was one of 11 children, all of whom reached adulthood.
  • After Lettie’s death in 1931 at age 50 (Letitia Brown Lemy-Carroll, 1880-1931), he appears to have moved to Stokes County, where by 1936 he was serving on the Stokes County Board of Elections. He lived in King and later Mountain View. He didn’t sell the house until 1943.
  • “In 1943 the Carrolls sold the house to Harter H. and Blanche G. Trivette, and their family occupied it until 1975.” Presumably, the sellers were Cary and his second wife, Naomi King Carroll, 1913-1986. Naomi was 33 years younger than Cary and six years younger than his daughter.
  • Harter Trivette (1883-1964) was a bookkeeper for R.J. Reynolds. His epitaph: “May the Lord watch between me and thee while we are absent one from the other.”
  • Epitaph for Blanche Elizabeth Garner Trivette (1902-1988): “Not my will but Thine be done”

• Note: The house has a Mocksville mailing address but is in the Smith Grove community north of the town.
  • The property includes an in-ground swimming pool.
  • The Greek Revival house has been on the study list for the National Register since 1986.
  • From the valuable The Historic Architecture of Davie County, North Carolina: “In the county’s oldest brick buildings the highly decorative Flemish bond was used, sometimes only on two elevations. Flemish bond is characterized by the pattern of alternating headers and stretchers in the brickwork. … The latest use of this type of brickwork is in the Sheek-Kimbrough house in Smith Grove, built about 1852 …
  • “The Sheek-Kimbrough House is typical of Greek Revival style dwellings erected in Davie County during the 1850s. Its symmetrically arranged front (north) elevation is focused on the central entrance which is framed by wide sidelights. A gable-roofed porch with square posts formerly shielded this entrance.
  • “The house’s four walls are laid up in Flemish bond, the only surviving Greek Revival style structure in the county which exhibits such extensive use of this bond type. The ell originally had a porch but this was enclosed and brick veneered; the veneer was also unfortunately applied to the remainder of the brick ell.
  • “Inside, the dwelling displays a variety of symmetrically molded surrounds and two-panel doors. There is frequent use of a ceiling molding which is, in fact, a molded surround more typically found framing doors and windows. A mantel in the parlor is a fancifully decorated feature containing molded pilasters with corner blocks and a carved frieze.”
  • The house apparently was built by Albert Sheek (1825-1873), who at various times worked as a carpenter, machinist, postmaster and grist mill operator.
  • “This dwelling, which is thought to have been built in 1852, was long occupied by Dr. Marmaduke Kimbrough. Sheek had purchased a four-acre lot from his father in 1852 for $16. He sold it in 1858 to W.B. Brock for $1,050.00, a sum which surely implies that the house had been constructed.”
  • In 1870 Brock gave the house to his daughter Sarah E. Brock Kimbrough (1843-1931) and her husband, Dr. Maramaduke D. Kimbrough (1838-1910). They owned the house until their deaths.
  • Dr. Kimbrough was a physician. He was educated at Union Academy in Davie County and East Bend Academy in Yadkin County. He studied medicine under a local doctor and then at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1860. After serving as a surgeon in the Civil War, he practiced in Smith Grove until a few months before his death at age 72 and opened a drug store in Mocksville.
  • He and Sarah had nine children over a period of 28 years, all of whom reached adulthood and all but one of whom lived at least into their sixties.
  • Their daughter Rena (1871-1947) married Albert Sheek’s nephew James L. Sheek (1866-1931).

  • “Set back from the street by a shallow yard with picket fence, the Italianate house is a one and one-half story common bond (5:1) brick building. The side gable roof (wood shingle) has open eaves with exposed rafter and purlin ends. There are two interior brick chimneys with corbelled caps.”
  • “The symmetrical five-bay façade features a prominent centered entry-bay portico with chamfered posts and turned balustrade. It shelters a double-leaf door with large two-light transom and sidelights.
  • “From a low concrete retaining wall at the sidewalk, three concrete steps lead to four wide wood steps which access the portico. Centered above the portico is a gabled wall dormer with narrow glazed doors set in a round arch, which open onto the flat porch roof. This basic configuration is repeated in simpler form on the rear elevation.”
  • “First floor windows are large light four-over-four sash. The upper gable ends have four-over-four sash windows at the second floor level and are flanked by four-light casement attic windows. All sash windows are hung with louver shutters.”
