Pleasant Ridge Road in western Greensboro is one of those areas changing before our eyes. For one, we are on the seasonal cusp, between winter and spring. Spring is fighting as hard to begin as winter is to hold on. Also, the above, old yellow farmhouse, located at the Stanley Huff Road intersection, is on the market. It looks like one of those old homes that will be punched down so that apartments or a convenience store can be built in its place. The horse, out grazing, may be looking at that house for about the last time. Guilford County is still known as horse country; so, likely horses will be around a little while longer along the outer edges of Guilford County. What do you think would be a good use for the old farmhouse? As for "Stanley Huff," white pages dot com identified fifty-one people with that name in the USA, none of whom lives in Greensboro. We're wondering if this farmhouse was ever known as the Old Huff Place. Do you know a Stanley Huff, the Stanley Huff ?
oh no, i certainly hope they don't tear it down...it's a great looking old place!

I'd much rather see the farmhouse stay as it is. It really suits the surroundings.

I think it was so named as the road ran from the Stanley farm to the Huff farm. Somewhere along the way it lost its hyphenation.
