Later it became the home of Captain Robert Stringfellow Walker, who first founded Woodberry Forest as a school for his own children and those of nearby families. That was in 1839. Today the Residence is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Walkerg and although there are now many more buildings on the grounds, this quaint edifice still remains the seat of Woodberrfs finest traditions and the proudest landmark of the School.
