is the back portion of the house that once had a large back porch which
was destroyed for it's wood during the Civil War and never replaced. The

Door' by the current owners as it is located in the kitchen |

(Sept. 2010) Enlarge Traveling salesman building (front): This building is located at the back of the lot directly behind the Dancy-Polk House and is known as the 'Traveling Salesman Building.' Traveling salesmen that came through Decatur would stay at the Dancy-Polk Inn and open up shop inside this building laying their wares out on a table for the general public to view and purchase. The 'old timers' in Decatur remember this building being used as a country store. It has even been used as a residence in modern times. The current owners hope to transform the site into a wedding chapel as part of their bed & breakfast business |
