The Lunn-Allen House
Thu, 02/10/2022 - 12:00am
W.N. Lunn (1883-1959) bought this lot in 1916 for $1,000—and there was likely a house on the lot because $1,000 was a lot of money to pay in that day for an empty lot on Main Street in Olney. At that time, this home/lot was the furthest house west on Main Street.

The Stowe-McBride House
Thu, 02/03/2022 - 12:00am
In 1919, a sheriff ’s sale of the lot transpired, and in 1920, Dr. G.B. Hamilton assumed ownership. He sold it to Adney Stowe in 1924, and Stowe built the house that year. In 1930, Stowe and his wife Mattie took a mechanic’s lien to remodel the home. Mr. Stowe ran a fresh meat market on Main Street, securing his products from local farmers for beef and poultry. Although many of the grocers in Olney had a meat counter, this was really before refrigeration, and Mr. Stowe kept his meat on ice. Mr. Stowe was the grandson of Rev. G.W. Rushing, the first resident pastor of Olney Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1896.
