what's going to be built on the lot next door?

potential buyer should google the address & see what the BAR has to say

"The sellers are currently asking for over $300,000 more than the house's assessed worth....But the agent says that the price is fair and was developed after comparison with recently sold downtown properties of similar square-footage."

The agent apparently doesn't realize that the United States, including Planet Cville, is in its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

The only response to this is "LOL."

Thanks for the comic relief!

Fact checker?

Get the architect's name correct.

I think the place needs some work. Visit and look around.

The architect's name is James Tuley. Who did you think it was?

architect's name is Tulley. Two "L"s.

Pg. 90 Buildings of the Piedmont & Tidewater, by Richard Guy Wilson

It's a pretty boring house. Hard to believe either that the price is so high or that it was published. Tulley must be a friend of the author.

Dear Fact Checker,
Here's what I found: UVA's School of Architecture lists him as Tuley. Three UVA directories from between 1978 and 1992 at the Charlottesville Albemarle Historical Society show him as Tuley. The UVA digital collection spells his name Tuley, with the Ed Lay book, The Architecture of Jefferson Country: Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia, as the source.

Lastly, UVA history professor Walter Hauser, for whom the architect designed a house, says he knew Tuley for 40 years and he spelled his name with one "L".

If you have any other sources on the double L spelling, please let me know.

Thanks for writing,
Lisa Provence

For the facts,

James Speed Tuley was my father. One "L" indeed. He had a small private practice and taught at UVA as well. This infil was one of his better works, as I preferred his later architectural style.
