The scene
Before Old Bull was built on this corner, John Ruffin Green had a small tobacco warehouse here. After the Confederate surrender at Bennitt* Farm, four miles west, Yankee troops emptied the warehouse of its inventory. Green and others thought they were through until letters from the north started arriving at Durham Station, offering to pay for more tobacco. Top two floors [were] removed around 1930. – @POSTCARDSFROM DURH AM *the correct spelling of the family who lived at what we know now as Bennett Place PictureDURM (@picturedurm on Instagram) is a collection of photos chosen by founder Meredith Martindale from users who share with the #picturedurm hashtag.
