Surnames: Carrico Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2BC.2ACI/814 Message Board Post: Hi - I am looking for information on the history of an old home in Pulaski, Virginia. The house is located at 120 4th St, NW and is an old blue victorian that supposedly was built in 1880 but possibly as early as 1848. It has two stories, a wrap around porch in the front and has a civil-war-era low stone wall running around the property. The stone supposedly comes from Peak Creek which runs only a few blocks from the property. The house sits beside a home health care business and a funeral home is behind it. The home was most recently occupied by Mrs. Carrico until her death. The name I have is Marie R. Carrico but that might be her sister's name (I am unsure). I know that at one time the house was divided into apartments for rent but had since been renovated back into a single family dwelling prior to Mrs. Carrico living there. I also know that Mrs. Carrico's husband passed away long before her and 8 months later her son also died an untimely death so for many years she had! no immediate family other than her sister. If anyone knows anything about Mrs. Carrico or the house that I am speaking of please let me know. We are interested in any information at all.
