117 Madison Street – The Tabb-Slaughter-Diggs House
This house was originally a combination of Greek Revival and Federal styles. It was built in 1845-47 for Vincent Tabb and was later the home of Charles Slaughter, author of Virginia’s Civil War Ordinance of Secession. Slaughter’s son-in-law, J. Singleton Diggs, “modernized” the house in the 1890s to Queen Anne style by adding the towers and bays and by replacing the front porch.
