While editing this last door photo, located at 215 Fourth Street, I became aware of this wood plaque addressing this building. The Massie Wills House is among the oldest brick residences in Charlottesville and was originally built by Harden Massie in 1830. Sadly, there is very little information about this property to mention. So many instances I find a door leading to loads of historical details I’d not expected. There is next to nothing mentioned about this home other than it was eventually purchased by Frederick Wills in 1868. Upon digging a bit deeper, I did find a Charlottesville Landmark survey stating that this home became part of the Warner Wood estate in 1890 and was used as rental property. Warner Wood was a prominent Albemarle County resident who lived and died (1902) at Farmington Mansion which eventually became Farmington Country Club in 1929.
