Waterfield, and now of record in the clerk's office of the county court of Accomac county, by the request of the beneficiary in said deed, I shall proceed to sell at public auction, on SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1888, about 2 o'clock, p. m., in front of the premises, all that valuable hotel property described in the said deed as follows.
All that lot, piece or parcel of land, situate, lying and being in the village of Pungoteague, in the said county and State, containing four acres, more or less, known as the Tavern House and Lot, (except so much thereof, being thirty-two feet front by twenty-one feet deep, with the small storehouse thereon, which was conveyed by deed dated February 19th, 1880, by James K. Ayres and wife and Leah W. Ayres, to Henry C. Walker and Leonard H. Ames,) and bounded as follows: On the northeast by the land of Mrs. Sallie Virginia Hopkins, wife of William E. Hopkins, on the southeast by the main bay side county road and by the said lot of 32x21 feet above excepted, on the southwest by the Joynes store lot, part of which belongs to James F. Hope and the other part to Mrs. Mary Ann Walker, and on the northwest by the land of Dr. F. C. A. Kellam, Sen'r, known as the Hill property; the lot, piece or parcel of land hereby conveyed being the same which has been conveyed by deed of even date with this deed, by James K. Ayres and wife and Richard J. Ayres and wife to the said George E. Winder.
The sale of this property offers a rare chance to any person desiring to conduct the hotel business, or to make an investment, to acquire a valuable property on the main county road through this peninsula, located in a thriving village, within easy reach of railroad station and of steamboat wharf. The buildings are large, the main hotel building, the stables and other buildings and the enclosures are all in thorough repair, a large amount having been expended by Mr. Winder in thoroughly fitting up the old buildings, inside and out, and adding new buildings, within the past three years; and, besides ample room for hotel and livery purposes, the property has an unimproved side lot, fronting on the main street of sufficient size for a building lot for a residence, store house or other purpose. This property is a long established hotel, and is favorably known to the traveling public.
