A 2,600 square foot wellness center treats more than 6,000 patients a year.

ELLEN & JOHN DAGENHART, OWNERS Renovation of the Watts-Honeycutt House (c. 1900), 900 Virgie Street. This house is perhaps best known for it use as a prohibition house in the 1920s and early 1930s! Frank and Cora Watts eventually purchased the house from the Erwin Mill Company and remained here through the 1950s. Their daughter Frankie and her husband, Charles E. Honeycutt lived here until 1985. Recent renovations included systems updates, plaster and hardwood repairs, and kitchen and bathroom renovations while retaining unique original features including an arched beam in the living room and a trap door in one of the bedroom closets!
