A bit of history:
The land the home is built on was part of what was once a 3,600-acre land grant to William Russell by the governor and Council of Virginia in 1735. In 1826, 220 acres of that land was inherited by Samuel M. Spengler, and he completed construction of the first home on the street,1315 Old Winchester Pike Riverside in 1850.  In 1854, the house passed to Major James R. Richards, who supposedly won it in a hand of poker. The house now sits on two and one-half acres of land. The property remains in the family. During the Civil War, the family witnessed troop movements and battles. Riverside provided a hospital, hide-out, and meals for soldiers.  Ashby Parker O’Malley, owner.  (Information found in a brochure from Garden Club of Warren County 2015)

It is thought the homes around 1315 Old Winchester Pike, including the property for sale at 1324 were homes that have been built throughout the years for other family members of the main home discussed in this paragraph of history.
