After languishing for some years, this Queen Anne style house with decided Shingle and Neo-Classical Revival influence has been resurrected in less than two years. In January 2004, Sarah and Dan Latham purchased the sagging structure and soon began the herculean task of its rehabilitation. This impressive dwelling, built in 1902/03 for Mr. E.G. Moseley now sports a rich palette of late Victorian earth
tones. Supporting that new curb appeal are lots of new bones—foundation, roof and much of its framing—which the Lathams renewed and reinforced long before they applied the striking cosmetic touches that help the house reclaim its place of honor on Millionaires Row. The original owner, E.G. Moseley, was a tobacconist who served as president of the Danville Tobacco Association. This beloved minister, for whom Moseley Memorial Methodist Church was named, also was among the last influential Danvillians to move to Main Street during its heyday. Local contractor Henry A. Osborne built the Moseley House at the dawn of the Edwardian Era.

In 1938, the Rev. Moseley's widow sold her home to a relative, Mary Moseley Ley, who lived here six years before conveying the property to George Wesley Terry and his wife, the former Delphia Herndon. After Mr. Terry's death in 1949, Mrs. Terry married Dr. R.W. Garnett, the City's chief health officer for some 30 years.

In 1983, the house was purchased by only its fourth owner in as many generations, Mr. Charles Staubus. Mr. Staubus, a local hairdresser, worked for many years to
stabilize the property, restoring many of its principal rooms. Failing health curtailed his planned exterior restoration, and the property remained in limbo for several years.

The house and community were blessed by the arrival of Sarah and Dan Latham—from a city known for its preservation ethic, Annapolis, Maryland. In lavishing their enthusiasm and means on the historic E.G. Moseley House, the Lathams also have demonstrated the transformation possible with tenacity and know-how.
