William and Mary Kathryn McIntosh are history buffs.
William taught English and history at West Point and Mary Kathryn, an art history major, found herself enamored with the art in the architecture in Lynchburgâs historic districts and has led historic walking tours around various parts of the city for the past 16 years.
So it seems only fitting that the couple purchased an antebellum house at 700 Pearl Street in Lynchburgâs Diamond Hill.
The old gem â built at a time when the Hill City was flush with tobacco money â needed some work.
âWe have a great story to tell,â Mary Kathryn said of Lynchburg. âWe were the largest city in Virginia that wasnât burned in the Civil War. Thatâs why we have all these houses still with us.â
