WHITESIDE - WILLIAMS MEDICAL OFFICE
128 Snow Street
A small brick building with a big history, this office was originally built in the 1890s by Dr. James M. Whiteside so that he could see his patients. His personal home was adjacent to the office, and in 1911 both the home and office were sold to John B. Privett, a local pharmacist. In 1916, both home and office were sold again to Dr. Mark J. Williams.
In time, the building saw more than just patients, being used as a temporary library for Oxford, an HVAC office, and a gourmet peanut shop. Today, in 2023, it is a hair salon.
