The Emory Webb house is located on approximately eight hundred acres of farmland historically associated with two other farmhouses and the Webb family. This house is part of a National Register listed district that consists of three historic farmhouses with their associated outbuildings and one non-historic house. The nearly level farmland, all recently under cultivation, is bounded by Muckaloochee Creek on the west and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks on the east. The houses are strung along a mile ofU. S. Highway 19 which bisects the land running north/south. This house is significant architecturally as a good example of a Queen Anne farmhouse. Description: The third and most southerly farm complex is located on the west side of U. S.

Highway 19 about two-thirds of a mile south of the George Webb House. This, the Emory C. Webb House, also built in is very similar to the George Webb House. Some of the details include a wrap-around porch detailed with a spindle work frieze and sawn work brackets, a sunburst in the pediment over the porch roof at the main entrance, a recessed front door behind a segmental arched opening, fish scale shingles, bay and stained glass windows, and tall chimney with corbelled caps are the main exterior features. A small barn and windmill are extant. History: The house was constructed in and is still owned by the Webb Family.
