While its antiquity and rarity have largely been overlooked, the Robert Ross House, 225-227 Jefferson Avenue, Danville, Virginia, is one of the oldest houses in the city. An early nineteenth century double house (two rooms wide) of Late Federal design, it may be a contemporary of the house at 770 Main Street, the Lanier-Wyllie-Newman house erected in 1830. The first known owner of the dwelling was Robert Ross, one of Danville's four original councilmen, James H. Wilson of Caswell County, North Carolina and Dr. Sumter George of Danville bought the house and 110 foot wide lot at public auction in 1901. Shortly thereafter it was sold to John L. Pairo, a seafood dealer, and his wife, the former Lucy Osborne.
