Description: View of 'Scuffle Hill,' located at 311 East Church Street, Martinsville, Virginia, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 1997. The original home was built by tobacco magnate Col. Pannill Rucker. After the initial structure was partially destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt and later owned by the Rives Brown family, and subsequently by the Pannill family, owner of Pannill Knitting. The home later became the parish house of Christ Episcopal Church. The home is named for the first plantation in Henry County of Revolutionary War hero General Joseph Martin, who called his first acreage 'Scuffle Hill,' as he said he had to scuffle to come up with the money for it.
