NATIONAL REGISTER of Historic Places: 224 Elm Street - The west end of this house was originally a two-story side-hall plan house probably built during the 1820s; the east end was added in the 1840s, giving the house an over-all center-hall plan. The house has Greek Revival interior and exterior detailing, a one-story ell, and a two-story porch probably added when the house was moved circa 1900 (now reworked). Bazel Hawkins probably built the house, which merchant and turpentine trader Cyrus Glover acquired and probably renovated in the 1840s. The house originally stood on the waterfront to the west of town and was moved to its present location around 1900.NR

I'm a direct descendant of Basil Hawkins. He is my great-great-great grandfather. His daughter Catherine and son-in-law Cyrus Glover are my great-great grandparents. Charles Glover, their son, is my great-grandfather.
