Whitehead Store (3 of 3), "Downtown" Sebrell, Virginia
While Sebrell Historical Distri ct includes structures dating back to prerevolutionary times, "Downtown" Sebrell arose in the early 20th century, and was in decline by the 1930s. I made the trip down to Southern Virginia in part because of photos I'd seen of this building. This was the R.A. & W.N. Whitehead Store, a general store and Post Office. Mrs. Evelyn Whitehead, the Postmistress for 25 years, closed down the PO and, I presume, the building, in August, 1968.
