Notes
  • Significance: This is a small brick house with a weatherboard addition, significant in that it resembles dwellings of regions further North than Virginia. It is also considered to be the oldest house in the Batesville community. The Walters-Page House, said to be the oldest structure in Batesville, is a fine example of 18th century vernacular architecture. It was built for Mrs. Polly Walters and was occupied about 1800. Nickolas Murrell Page, reared by his aunt Mrs. Walters, inherited the house from her. He later added the wood frame addition on to the original brick dwelling. His son, Dr. Robert Lee Page inherited the house upon his father's death. Mrs. John E. Massey, a grand-daughter of Nickolas M. Page, bought the house from the estate of Robert Lee Page after his death. Charles T. Page acquired the house from Mrs. Massey, except for a very brief period, the house has remained in the Page family since the 1800's.
