Stoy Bailey stands in front of a Victorian cottage, one of the first houses built in the first black subdivision in the city of Memphis. The house was built around 1900, and while Orange Mound was an older area, it was classified as part of the county when the North Annesdale subdivision was built. Bailey died July 4 at age 86.
