Inscription.
Architectural detail: Brick, stone. Two story brick structure with unusual architecture that gives the building the appearance of two dissimilar towers built together.

This building was called the "Albion Hotel" in 1900. It became the office and hospital of Dr. William M. Sheridan in 1905. From 1909 to 1916, Dr. F. A. Sutorious lived and practiced medicine in this location.

In 1920, the Presbyterian Church next door purchased the property for a manse. Dr. James R. Burchfield, Pastor, lived here until 1949. In the following years, the building became both a private residence and a business property.

Erected by the City of Florence.
