History
The home at 4 White Street has traditionally been called either the RuthAnderson McCulloch House or the the Francis Lee McClung
House.
Prior to its construction in 1912 by Frank Lee McClung, a local
businessman, the property belonged to the Presbyterian Manse next door.
The lot had been used to “park” horses while parishioners attended church
services at the original Lexington Presbyterian Church built in 1799 (which
stood nearby at the head of White Street in what is today the NW corner of
the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery).
The court order severing the land from the Manse property was clearly
designed to enhance the prominence and value of the Manse. It not only
stipulated that any house erected on the site should stand further back from
White Street than the Manse (hence the large lawn and deep setback), it
also specified that any such house should be valued at no less than four
thousand dollars, a large amount of money at that time.
For almost thirty years, until her death in 1971, 4 White Street was the
home of Ruth Anderson McCulloch. She was the daughter of Gen.
William A. Anderson, former Attorney General of Virginia. In the 1930s
“Miss Ruth”, as she was known, was founder of the Rockbridge Historical
Society and a pioneer historical preservationist. She was a driving force
behind the creation of the Society for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities. A well known local book -- “Mrs. McCulloch’s Stories of Ole
Lexington” -- is based on extensive interviews with Miss Ruth in the early
1970s, just prior to her death.
