William Walker Scott married Cora Francis in the late 1800's at Fort Monroe on Old Point Comfort, Hampton, Virginia. William served on the Chesapeake Bay as a harbor pilot for forty-five years before retiring in 1928. He became notable for his chain of theaters on the Peninsula. The Scotts were a family of note in Hampton and this house was a showcase for their accumulated wealth and lifestyle. During their time, the wealth and social status the family achieved was visibly demonstrated in their home. William Scott died in 1933 and Cora remained in the home until her death in 1950. After her passing, the structure was subdivided into five apartments and accommodated tenants from 1950 to 1997. John and Karen Glass bought the property in 1997. They renovated the common areas to their original splendor and opened a popular restaurant/tea room and antique business. They were responsible for placing this dwelling on the National Register of Historic Places. Their business flourished until 2004, when Joyce and Lankford Blair purchased the property. The Magnolia House has been brought back to its original purpose as a comfortable home, welcoming all for a respite in this elegant structure. |
