Preston Place is the name of a Charlottesville development organized in 1919 by a group of businessmen. The land had been home to Colonel Thomas L. Preston. [1]
The building at 605 Preston Court was likely built in 1857 by Sally Ann McCoy as the primary residence on a 102-acre parcel of farmland. In 1863, Thomas Lewis and Anna Maria Saunders Preston bought the 102.25-acre Wyndhurst tract from Sally Ann McCoy. Immediately next door to the Prestons, possibly in present-day 611 Preston Place, the census taker recorded the family of Hezekiah “Kiah” Logan, who had once been enslaved by Thomas Preston.[2]
