This house at 1502 Virginia Street was built in 1907 for Solomon and Bettie Hilburn Meyers, who were originally from Germany. Solomon owned a plumbing, heating, and gas fitting business and had served with the Confederacy during the Civil War. In 1952, Dr. Peter Haley and his wife, Mary Alice, purchased it from the Meyers family. Dr. Haley operated his medical practice in the basement of the home, and the entrance to the clinic can be seen on the Ruffner Street side.
