Excerpts from "The History of Greenbrier County" ONE of the early brick houses in Lewisburg is the JAMES WITHROW I House, (as pictured) the location of which when built was most desirable and conveniently near the center of the village. Situated on Jefferson Street about two hundred yards north of Washington Street, it is on rising ground with a fine view to the southwest. Originally there were several acres surrounding the house, with fine trees in front and tall boxwood bushes on each side of the portico and along the walks. The latter were made of the most beautiful flagstones imaginable, a type of sandstone that looks like slate and hardens when exposed to the air. One slab in particular measures fifteen feet long by five wide. Many of the old sidewalks in Lewisburg, worn smooth with age, are made of these great square slabs, quarried near town in what is today known as the Goheen Quarry. James Withrow was a tanner. He first owned a lot on the northwest corner of LaFayette and Randolph streets, designated on the town plot as Lot Number 12, where he built a small one-story stone building in which he lived for a time and near which he established his tannery. After his purchase of the Jefferson Street property and the building of his permanent home on the near by hill, he conveyed the little stone house to his son, James, who continued the operation of the tannery. James Withrow I married Letitia Edgar, daughter of Captain Thomas and Ann Mathews Edgar. and they had a large family of eight daughters and three sons, two of whom, James II and John, became very prominent citizens of Lewisburg. James for nearly half a century was one of the master commissioners of the circuit court of the county and several times a member of the legislature. He was not a licensed attorney but had a good legal mind, and his sound judgement and advice were in constant demand. He had a little square brick office on his premises near the street. It still stands, although after his death it was moved back to the rear of the house, and the bricks covered with plaster. The brother, John Withrow, was a merchant. In 1852 he purchased the brick building now used as the Community House on the southwest corner of Washington at LaFayette Street in which he conducted his store for many years.
