Lom-Bar-Dy Restaurant
A school for African-American children stood just east of this
restaurant. The school was called the Shanklin school, after one
of the teachers. A slave cemetery is thought to be in the field
across the highway. Behind the restaurant are some cottages from
the 1950's when Lom-Bar-Dy's was a motel. Lom-Bar-Dy takes its name
from a type of elm.
The restaurant was owned and operated by Iva Poe; it is currently
owned by her nephew.
