Large lot with mature trees. Robert M. and Phyllis J. Sharp of Richmond, Virginia, lived here from 1937 to 1938. They apparently lived here part of the year through 1944, with the house remaining vacant part of the time. William T. and Elvira Williams lived here from 1945 to 1946, and Hazel Wachtel lived here from 1948 to at least 1951.
