Lanneau Norwood House

In 1877, the Lanneau/Norwood House,
a great architectural example of the Second Empire style, was built for Charles
H. Lanneau as his private residence. It was built upon the former estate of
Dr. Peter C. Edwards. The house was later acquired from the Lanneau estate
by John Wilkins Norwood in 1907. Norwood was responsible for the addition
of the kitchen, the enlargement of the front porch, and other changes that
include the subdivision of the once 39 acre parcel that originally stretched
to McDaniel Avenue with access from a large circular driveway. In 1945, J.W.
Norwood died and left the house to his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Sapp Funderburk. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Funderburk, George, and his wife,
Ann, are the current owners of the Lanneau/Norwood House.
