In April 1913, painter Butler E. Jones sold Walter and Sarah Dortch Hines a lot on Green Street adjacent to Hines’ half-brother David Barnes, Wiley Barefoot, Short Barnes, and others. The Hineses invested heavily in rental property, and this was not the lot on which their “home house” stood at 617 East Green Street.
