Maupin - Maury House
Originally built in 1846 at 1105 East Clay, Street, this Greek Revival townhouse was reconstructed on this site in1993 using much of the original architectural fabric. The builder, Dr. Socrates Maupin, was one of the founders of the medical department of Hampden-Sydney College that later became the Medical College of Virginia. It was in this house in 1861 that Matthew Fontaine Maury developed plans for his underwater torpedo for the Confederate Navy.
