OLD DESIDENCE TO CHANGE LOCATIONS

Possibly one of the oldest residences in this city has been purchased by C. H. Leavel and it will be moved from its present site on Cornelia street to a lot owned by Mr. Leavel in the northwest part of the city. We have been unable to ascertain just when this building was erected. It was, however, built by Dr. Loughridge who sold it to Alfred McCoy and who in turn sold it to Dr. J. H. Loughridge. The doctor moved into this property two years after he was married and lived in it until his death. A few years ago it was replaced by a beautiful edifice now occupied by 1 Dr. Loughridge’s daughter, Mrs. James H. Chapman.
