Anecdotal Information
Interview with Bill & Sharon Wheeler on July 8, 2010: Sharon and Bill Wheeler have lived in 2236 Rivermont Avenue since 2009. They bought the house shortly after moving back to Lynchburg from Mississippi. They were immediately attracted to the home situated near the entrance to Riverside Park. They loved the character of the house, and as of 2010 have been working to restore it to look like a picture they found of the house from the 1930s.
