PINEY GROVE AND SAUNDERS Eight miles west on "The Old Main Road" is Piney Grove. The original portion, built ca. 1800 on Southall's Plantation, is a rare survival of Tidewater log architecture. Edmund Archer Saunders, a successful Richmond businessman, operated a store at Piney Grove between 1857 and 1874 when he sold it to Thomas Harwood. Saunders later returned to Charles City County and purchased Upper Shirely and Weyanoke plantations. Harwood enlarged the building for his home in 1910. Department of Conservation and Historic Resources, 1988.
