====== John G. Gaines House (BE 1150) ====== John G. Gaines House Located on Front Street in [[Petersburg]], the Gaines House resembles a shotgun house in form, but is built to one-and-a-half stories. The narrow facade contains two bays; the steeply pitched roof is covered with metal shingles. An old, undated photo shows a Victorian spindlework porch, since removed. The house appears to have been built for John G. Gaines during the [[Civil War]]. It changed hands many times over the next 100 years. ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Historic Homes]]
