Built sometime after 1921 this large, well-executed beautifully maintained bungalow is one and one-half stories in height, is sheathed entirely in wood shingles, and has an attached porch framed by a broad gable which intersects the main gable roof.…
Livius L. Hatfield (1876-1955), a sales representative for Lily Mills at Shelby, and his wife the former Lydia Parrish (1874-1966) bought the land on which this house was built between 1919 and 1920 from Charles Geitner (27). They appear to have occupied the house until the late 1930s. One of their three sons, Lansing Hatfield, was a singing star with the Metropolitan Opera as well as with other opera groups throughout the country. Lansing lived in Asheville for a number of years and died there at the age of forty-four years. Vacant for awhile in the early }940s, the house was later occupied by Nicholas F. Jones, an agent with the Colonial Insurance Company.
