It had the first central heat in town, complete with a control button at the the head of R. L.'s bed. The street, which winds out of Chapel Hill in the direction of Durham, was once known as "Strowd Hill". The house is in good repair. In the early 1920's he traveled by train from North Carolina down into the deep southern states and then across to Texas. He sent articles to the Chapel Hill newspaper describing the vastness of the King Ranch and of seeing the Mexican cowboys roping the fat cattle, and of crossing the Rio Grande into Matamoras, Mexico, where he saw humble homes, a pig standing in one doorway, "with as much dignity as if it were a maid or a butler". He sent a photograph of himself holding a rifle and a string of freshly shot ducks. He was wearing a suit, a white standup starched collar, and a hat. They say that in Chapel Hill townsfolk could set their watches by his 4:PM rides through the village, a chauffer at the wheel. R. L. was a Methodist, a Mason, and an Elk.

The old house is still standing, once called "Plum Nelly" because it was "plum" out of Chapel Hill and nearly to Durham, surrounded by houses. It once had a handsome gazebo on the back lawn. The area has been known as Davie Circle for some time. R. L. was a merchant in Chapel Hill, occupying his own building which still bears the name The Strowd Building on the brickwork.
