            This modified Greek Revival style home was built circa 1901.  It was originally constructed in the shotgun style, with a large central hall flanked by two rooms on each side.

            It has been in the Griggs family since 1915.  In 1995, Col. Ed and Ann Duskin began extensive modification and it is now a totally modern dwelling.  The central hall was enclosed behind the foyer to create closets and bathrooms.  The screened porch was glassed in, the kitchen enlarge, a bedroom added and a semi-circular brick staircase now addresses the portico.
