"Richard Beall's House"
by Porte Crayon
Richard Beall's house was located east of the graveyard in this park. This Harper's New Monthly Magazine depiction of the house shows it as it looked during the Civil War, when inhabited by Dr. Richard and Mrs. Cecelia Beall. Mrs. Beall inherited the land from her mother, Elizabeth Gassaway Darne. Dr. Beall acted as the community physician until his death in 1879. |
