Kearney House
back Social Milieu next

Stephen Putney, who made his fortune in the wholesale shoe business, lived in a large antebellum house in the Court End section of Richmond until buying this property at 921 W. Franklin St. Putney purchased the land from Ella Williams in May 1894, and from Charlotte and James Kearney in June of the same year.

When purchased by the university some forty years ago, it was used as a woman's dormitory.
