This well-mannered Greek Revival dwelling in the city of Staunton was built in 1847-48 for state delegate Thomas J. Michie.  One of the earliest houses on East Beverley Street in the Gospel Hill Historic District, the Michie House also has been the home of Claiborne Rice Mason, a civil engineer; John Echols, founder of the National Valley Bank; Alan Caperton Braxton, a leader in the establishment of the State Corporation Commission; and Henry Winston Holt, chief justice of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. With its brick construction, deck-on-hip roof, and wide plain entablature, the Thomas J. Michie House typifies the conservative, solidly proportioned structures favored by local builders working in the Greek Revival idiom. A contrast to the clean lines is the delicately detailed Grecian-style iron railing topping the porch.
