Abstract:
Charles Green built the Greene-Skinner House during 1845 - 1850. After Greene's death in 1861, David H. Dill rented the house. Robert Greene became sole owner in 1863, and later sold it to Dill's wife, Harriet L. Dill. The house was a hospital during the Civil War. When the Dills died, the house went to Harriet Dill's sister, Ann Delaney, and then to David Dill's heirs. The Dill brothers sold the property to Frank W. Brown, who mortgaged the property back to the Dills. They sold the property to Joseph G. Moye in 1898, and the Moye family sold the property in 1917 to Dr. Louis C. Skinner. Skinner and Dr. Joseph Smith opened a clinic and emergency hospital in the house. The clinic remained in the house until Dr. Smith moved it in 1946. The Skinner heirs sold the house in 1968 to the Eastern Realty Company.
