1994

This is the former Linville Depot. It's still in Linville but has been moved from its place on the highway alongside the right-of-way to Grape Street. The depot was sold to an individual for $50 in 1940 when the railroad was abandoned. The individual left it basically as it was but turned it into a store and gas station. Eventually, the store went out of business, and it was bought again by the present owner's late husband who added brick and stone and converted it into their home (this was in the 50s I believe). In 1970, the state widened the highway and the house had to be moved or torn down, so they picked it up and moved it to its present location. It's still the same size that it was when it was a depot.
