The Tredway House in the Old West End

In 1863, the Town of Danville purchased the Green Estate and, soon after the war, began the development of Green Street Park. In 1873, the town sold a larger tract of land bounded by Green Street, Pine Street, and Loyal Street (now Jefferson Street) to the Tredway family. Their 1874 home was situated for the best view of the then-newly-created park.

All rooms are of large size, each with a fireplace, and most with closets. Most original features remain including heart pine floors, mantels, and door latches. From the restored porch, the front door with transom and sidelights opens to a center hall with elegant curved staircase. Upstairs, an additional doorway leads to the roof of the front porch. While rear additions made around 1911 are structurally sound, a future owner may choose to remove and replace this warren of small rooms.
