SALISBURY HOUSE CELEBRATES 100TH AT OPEN HOUSE
Home, Of Historic Interest


The modified Italianate style home was built about 1890
and is know as the Salisbury house due to its longtime
noted resident Stella Salisbury, known for her dedication
to helping children through a group call the "Sunshine"
Club.  The house was modified in 1905, accordint to prior
owners Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Whiddon who did extensive
renovation.  The Whiddonw bought the house in 1976. The
house was originally patterned after a Salisbury home in
Boston, Mass.  After their hard work, the Whiddons moved
into the home in December 1977 and they also helped in
the establishment of a neighborhood preservation group -
the waycross Historic Preservation Association of which
he served as president. The Whiddons completely restored
the house to its original condition. The home features
three curly pine mantels, two oak mantels, a walnut
mantel, a solid oak front door and a beautiful pine
staircase.  The structure's exterior is built entirely of
cypress.

   The spirit of the holdiay season was felt throughout "Salisbury House"
as approximately 80 guests enjoyed a Christmas open house held there...
