History
In 1886, James E. Timberlake bought 5.5 acres of land overlooking surrounding farmland and built his house. In 1889 he bought 5.5 more acres of adjoining land. For almost fifty years the house remained with the Timberlakes, including a family cemetery to the nowrthwest of the house. The family bequeathed the house to their daughter, Bessie M. Mann, in 1916. In 1937 Mann sold the house to Henry E. Fairburn, who sold it the following year.[2]
In 1988 Republic Home Investment Corporation purchased the home from Thomas Hickman and sold it to Rivanna Partners in 1989. It was then turned into an Adult Care Center.[3]
