The Webb Avenue house in these photos, now gone, was originally built by Crossville banker and community leader Mose Dorton for his mother to live in. It was next door to his own house that was also on Webb Avenue and is also now gone. These photos are from a few years ago and were taken not long before the house was torn down. Photos (C) Jim Young
Built from cut Crab Orchard stone blocks and veneer, the house
walls were very sturdy but lack of maintenance lead to
its eventual loss.
