Country Club Hill Mediterranean House

There are several houses in the historic “Country Club Hill” section that were designed by famed architect, Alex Mahood, including this Mediterranean-style home. Built in 1920 for L.G. Toney, this stately home has a unique feature. It has a monogram. If one looks carefully, you can see the letter “T” on the downspout of each side of the home. The home originally had quarters for the family’s maid and butler. Over the past century, there have only been four families who owned the home. Dr. Richard Shanklin, a prominent Bluefield physician, purchased the home in 1946. It was passed on to his son, Dr. James Shanklin, and the home remained in the family until 1991.
