Comments:  The Doll House was a one-story frame house, built around 1810 or earlier, and once owned by Peter Field Jefferson, grandson of Thomas Jefferson's brother, Randolph.  Later the house was owned by Rev. John A. Doll, who co-founded the Union Baptist Church on Hardware Street with the Rev. Henry Smith in 1865.  The Doll House occupies Scottsville Lot 36 and faces Main Street.  Rev. Doll, and his wife, Sallie A. Doll, sold their house on Lot 36 to Henry W. Day on October 17, 1892 (Ablemarle Deed Book 98, p.170).  This home remained in the Day family through 1936.
