1895 Baskerville Grange

This is a photograph of the Baskerville Grange, dated 1895. It was taken across the street from the property that is now the Dunn General Store (closed), near the railroad tracks in Baskerville 36° 41' 20"N, 78° 16' 30"W. Later this building burned, and Mr. C. R. Dunn bought the land and built the present brick store.

Mr. Watkins Crute and wife ran a boarding house, which served as a meeting place for the "Baskerville Grange." Later Sam Land operated a store in it.
