Allen, Sidna House - Fancy Gap, Virginia - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

This Queen Anne style house was briefly the home of the notorious Sidna Allen. Allen was member of the so-called Allen Gang involved in the Carroll County Courthouse shooting in 1912. The house, finished the year before the shooting, was designed by Allen and his wife. It was built by Preston Dickens, a local carpenter, with Allen assisting. Allen dreamed of the finest house in Carroll County, and the house was his dream come true until confiscated by the state after his conviction for the courthouse incident. The Sidna Allen House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
