Another street scene in the Twickenham District sketched in 1978 by Lee Harless, Jr. looks east on Gates Street, showing the First Presbyterian Church and the Cox-Hilson home. The latter is better known as the Spite House, supposedly having been built to block the view from the Leroy Pope home of the city down the hill.

About the Cox-Hilson house:

This house was opposite the Presbyterian Church and when I was sent here on errands all I remember is there were about 1,000 steps to climb and that Miss Irene lived into her nineties.
