In a letter of April 17, 1981 (Charlotte V. Brown Collection), attorney and judge Julius Banzet stated that Satterfield built his home during the summer and fall of 1931 and that the builder had previously completed renovation of a house nearby on South Main St. for Adele Jones. Both houses are stately examples of Georgian Revival in red brick, and display excellent materials and craftsmanship. The architect has not been documented but circumstances suggest that it might have been James A. Salter.
