This house, known as the Wicker House, was constructed in 1911. It was the last house to be constructed on this block, which was then named Park Ave. The original owner, Reverend J. J. Wicker, pastor of Leigh Street Baptist Church sold the house in 1920 to J. T. Mooney, the president of Baldwin & Brown, Inc. This Colonial Revival house features stretcher bond brick with decorative brick work on the upper stories. The large front porch has a geometric designed balustrade and Doric columns, beneath which is a tri-part window and front entry door with patterned transoms. Later residents include Alex P. Thornton, president of Star Warehouse Corp. and the secretary-treasurer of K. E. Victor Co., Inc. and J. B. Welsh, a clerk for the city treasurer. This house is listed as a contributing structure to the Union Hill Historic District on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
