It also contains three commercial buildings, a church, two schools, and a former tavern. Notable buildings include Barbee’s Tavern (c. 1787), “The Dell,” the parsonage for Leeds Church (c. 1855), former Captain Marshall’s Store (c. 1860), the African-American Hume School (c. 1906), the former Hume Methodist Church (c. 1900), and the Hume Baptist Church (1921).
