Lynchburg 12th Street building a historic landmark; marker to celebrate one of country s first Black veterinarians

Bounded by two Lynchburg residential historical districts, on the periphery of downtown, the DeWitt-Wharton Manufacturing Company Building towers over the neighboring residences. The building, a snapshot of Lynchburg’s early textile manufacturing, is the city’s newest addition to the Virginia Landmarks Register. Located at 1701 12th Street, the four-story brick building is emblematic of the rise of a thriving textile industry in Lynchburg during the early 20th century. Designed by prolific Lynchburg architect Edward Frye, who had a hand in many of the Victorian-inspired homes along Rivermont Avenue, this is one of the only examples of his work on an industrial building.
