This frame, Minimal Traditional-style house has been heavily remodeled. Originally it was a one-story shingled house. In the late-twentieth century the side-gable roof was raised in the back to create a full second story, and a modern one-story sun room was added to the back of that. The house has vertical-board replacement siding. A weatherboarded cross-gable on the façade frames a brick-veneered section of the façade highlighted by a central chimney. The entrance is to the chimney’s left, and a window with diamond-shaped muntins is to its right. The entrance door has three stepped lights in its upper half. The south side of the house has another entrance, always there, but remodeled. The original window of the three-bay façade’s south bay has been replaced with an oriel window. The other windows of the house have been replaced with modern two-light windows. A gable-roofed screened porch that extended from the north side of the house has been enclosed. Gray and Francis Tilley appear to have been the original occupants of the house, purchasing the property in 1939 and retaining it until 1965. Gray Tilley was an employee of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco. In 1967, W. Arden and Glenda Lackey purchased the house and later remodeled it. They continue to reside here. (TR, CD, HOC)
