In 1977, my Dad, Alvin Cecil Nash (1933-) got a new job at Burlington Industries in Clarksville Virginia. We had lived in Clarksville six years before and had moved to North Carolina. When we moved back, my parents built this house in the Mill Village section of town. It was called "The Farmhouse" and it's where I grew up.

The Farmhouse in Clarksville Virginia that my parents, Alvin and Gloria Nash, built in 1977. Alvin did all of the landscaping himself.

This is the back view of the three-story farmhouse my parents built in Clarksville. The Alvin and Gloria Nash family lived there from 1977 to 1989, when they moved to their vacation land along the lakeshore. All the kids had moved out by then.

Another view of the Alvin and Gloria Nash home in Clarksville. Alvin made all of the inside doors, and both Alvin and Gloria did all the interior staining. It being too large to keep, they sold it in 1989 when the kids moved out.

A snowy scene of the Farmhouse outside Clarksville VA. Clarksville gets very infrequent heavy snows.

Thanks to Clarksville's habit of bad ice storms (and actually very little snow), we forever had trouble with that driveway to the right freezing over and not being able to get our cars from the back of the house, due to its steep incline!
