117 Water Street, Dr. James W. Henry

This house was built with a porch circa 1855 by Dr. James Henry, the grandson of Governor John Henry. The old doors contain two panels with plan trim blocks similar to other doors in town and in Princess Ann, Maryland. The older back 1 ½ story section dates from c. 1840 but had extensive renovation in the 1960’s and 2008. The house was saved in the 1922 Vienna fire by four family members passing water out to the father on the roof. Owners of the house have been Henry, LeCompte, Houston, WEbb, Bennett, Bennett (Kupersmith), Robbins, Jones and Rinehart.

Touart (D160): Greek revival corner block surrounds and 19th neoclassical mantels, two story side hall/double pile dwelling.
