But was sold to the Hubbards. I believe that The house was built by Henry Wiggington for Dr. McConnell. Dr. McConnell had a small drug store along with his medical practice in this home. Later the home was purchased by Will Tudor. The Dennie Hubbard home was located across the road from the Shady Grove School. I believe I read that the house was built by Dr. J.N. Todd in the middle to late 1800's. Bishop Stephens lived there and sold the place to Dennie Hubbard. We own the old school property and have, with much sadness, watched many of those grand old homes fall into disrepair and then either burn, or meet with the bulldozer. We will certainly miss the Hubbard store. I am glad to know someone has purchased the Hubbard home.maamaw Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089867139810139413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459598970729394556.post-32114260946992905932011-06-06T16:57:34.337-07:002011-06-06T16:57:34.337-07:00The first picture is of Hubbard's store. Howe...The first picture is of Hubbard's store. However, the second picture is of the old Tudor home, not the Hubbard home. Mr. Tudor ran a store which was located just to the left of the home shown as you look at the picture. Mr. Hubbard's home was located somewhat behind his store across the road from where the old school was located. Mr. Drennan also ran a store in Shady Grove at that time. It was located by the entrance to the cemetary on the same side of the road. Hubert Andrews had a small store near where the olc school was located. The small white block building is still there but his home is gone.<br /><br />Don Joycedonrjoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110840303912499386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459598970729394556.post-23374285900345604012011-03-10T13:16:36.819-08:002011-03-10T13:16:36.819-08:00SO SAD TO KNOW THE STORE IS BEING TORN DOWN.
