My grandmother, Hettie Tompkins's house. The building beside it is the first Tompkins Furniture Store that was built in the 60s. I have so many amazing memories in that house.

Hi Toni! Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories of your grandmother's house and the Tompkins Furniture Store. It sounds like an incredibly special place. We'd love to learn more about your experiences growing up in Pittsylvania County, VA. Can you recall any specific events or activities that took place around the time this photo was taken in 1986?
