History
The Trinkle Mansion was built in 1912 by William Trinkle, the son of a prominent Wytheville family. William married a young woman by the name of Ethel and the young couple had two young children, a boy and a girl. William was a wealthy farm owner that oversaw 20,000 acres (81 km2) of land. The house was built in a Classical Revival style and had unprecedented technology for the time period like a steam heating system and a built-in central vacuum system.[2] The house is now on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register as part of the Wytheville Historic District, added to the national register in 1994.[3]
