Inscription. This vernacular Italianate three-bay frame house features double entrance doors with a transom and a full-width porch. The property was originally part of a larger parcel of land designated as 2500 E. Marshall Street. In 1870, it was purchased by Hiram Oliver. Mr. Oliver, a manager of a tobacco manufacturer, was a large scale builder of speculative houses in Church Hill. The Oliver family retained ownership until 1911 when the property was sold to Charles J. Billups of Billups Funeral Home. This house is listed as a contributing structure to the Church Hill Historic District on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
