As noted on pages 7:1 and 8:3, the house was <br /> known locally as the Maude Faucette House, after the last descendant of David Faucette, Maude <br /> Faucette's association with the house until her death in 1983, at the age of ninety-seven, is <br /> notable. However, the historic name that best reflects the property's historic importance is the <br /> David Faucette House, after the man who built the house. <br /> Also, the name The Elms was given to the property by Dr. and Mrs. Wiley 5hearin who <br /> purchased the property from Maude Faucette in 1977. This non-historic name should not be <br /> included under "other names" as it was in the original nomination. <br />
