Virginia's Department of Historic Resources describes the district as:  The town of Kenbridge’s Fifth Avenue Historic District is a linear, five-block, residential district, arrayed on both sides of Fifth Avenue, a wide two-lane road with concrete curbs and sidewalks. Kenbridge arose along the route of a railroad connecting the coalfields of West Virginia with the port of Norfolk. By 1910 a bank and many shops formed the downtown, and Fifth Avenue was laid out where some large houses had already been constructed for leading citizens. The houses, set back from the street on broad lawns, were constructed between 1890 and 1930 and represent a variety of architectural styles including Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and bungalow-style. The district also includes two churches, an early hospital, and a former school building. Documentation to register the district describes the home at 401 East Fifth Avenue as follows: This 2½-story, three-bay, Queen Anne-style frame dwelling has a hip and gable roof with a two-story, two-bay projecting hip roof portion on the left.  In the center of the hip roof is a pediment dormer with a decorative truss (lace).  There are double-leaf screen doors at the entrance with painted Victorian imitation decoration.  There is a one-story, seven-bay, wraparound, hip-roofed porch with paired Tuscan columns on rusticated block piers and a rusticated concrete block foundation.   Your opportunity to bid is on September 28 at 11AM.
