per Virginia Department of Historic Resources, this is 005-0045, the Edmund Hill Home / Quick-Woody House
(demolished in 2019)
Also, from Buildings of Virginia Vol. 2 -
"Circa 1812, Mr. Lamkin, later editions. US 29 business approximately 0.25 miles south of Virginia 130 / 669.
"Now almost lost among late-twentieth-century big-box commercial structures along this highway, this is the largest of Lamkin's buildings. The tavern was a stage stop with a bar in the basement. From the early nineteenth century when houses were built on raised, usable basements, dining rooms lost their colonial place of honor and moved to the basement and, as here, sometimes tavern bars did too. The two-story brick tavern, originally rectangular and only five days wide, nevertheless is stylistically allied with the larger and more complex Edgewood in Amherst. Both are carefully crafted neoclassical buildings with a two-story, three bay central portico crowned with a pediment."
