CARRAWAY HOUSE - 317 South Witchduck Road (Kempsville).This house was built by John Carraway, a descendant of the immigrant, John Carraway who, according to the records, was here in 1665.This is a small house with a hall and one large room downstairs and two smaller rooms upstairs. The second room and kitchen downstairs were added later with a sloping roof which gives the house a saltbox shape.Occupied by the Carraway family until 1975, the house was moved in the early 1900s from its former location on the other side of the street to accommodate the change in Witchduck Road.It has been carefully restored and still has the original shutters, many hand blown panes in the windows, and the massive original chimney.Gravestones of more recent Carraways are in the back.
