CH,
This home was built for the daughter of JC Steele who was the founder of JC Steele and Sons in 1889. Follow this link for a little more history on JC Steele: http://www.jcsteele.com/history.htm
JC Steele built a home for himself, one for his son and one for his daughter all in a row. The home is know as the JT Montgomery home and I am still trying to determine why it was named that. Not sure if she was married to someone by that name or if it was a business partner. JC Steele is a big name in Statesville and contributed much to the city.
My sellers know much more of the history than I do and would be happy to share if interested. I have asked them to write up a background on the home to have available for buyers.
The entire Academy Hill District is listed on the Historic Database and individual owners can choose to place a plaque on their own. There may not have been a significant event for any particular home that is registered on the Historic Register.
Hope this helps answer your question.
Sonya
