Inscription.
Graham-Whitelock Home. Barren Creek Springs Village. Built in 1914, this home was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Graham until it later became the home of the Norman Whitelock family. It shares many of the same Victorian architectural features of other houses homes built in the "boom" period in the latter 1800s. Most notable is the turret, use of decorative fish-scale shingles, roofs of varying pitches, and the wrap-around Greek Revival porches. It has been painted in a combination of colors favored in the Victorian era. While the Graham family was not wealthy, Mr. Graham was a much-respected and prosperous builder, reflected in the quality and style of house. Mrs. Graham lived in the house and his passing until the mid-1900s. The Adkins Museum Complex has restored it as a beautiful house museum.
