the Calloway-Hubbard House is a contributing building:
Dr. James Calloway (1806-1878) was the first of the Wilkes County doctors to graduate from a recognized medical school, the University of Pennsylvania. He practiced medicine for forty years in Wilkesboro at the southwest corner of West Main and South Bridge streets, a location that came to be known as Calloway Corner. In 1870 he moved to Kansas, where he owned 7,000 acres, but after two years he returned to Wilkesboro and built the home at 211 East Main Street where he lived until his death. One of the Calloway daughters, Annie, married Joel T. Hubbard, and they reared their children in the house. One of their children, Fred C. Hubbard, became another prominent Wilkesboro doctor and historian. The house remained in Hubbard family ownership and occupancy until recent years.
