Cunningham-Dosser-Broyles-Clayton House
Afton Hall
The Cunningham-Dosser-Broyles-Clayton House
Jonesborough, Tennessee, circa 1880s
From a January 24, 1982 article printed in the Johnson City
Press
Chronicle about the closing of the Dosser store in Johnson
City.
Mary Nell Dosser Keller was interviewed for the article and supplied
the
photograph of her family in front of the house. At the time of
the
article, Mrs. Keller was the only surviving child of Robert Newton
Dosser,
Sr., who had purchased the home from Dr. Samuel Blair Cunningham.
Mrs. Keller recalled, "The place was called Afton Hall.
There
was a creek running through and a rose arbor across the sidewalk, with
roses growing on each side of the walk. A little bridge over the
creek gave easy access to the house."
Article with photo was copied and submitted by David Dosser.
