Salisbury's Stokes-Snider House, a home with strong ties to the medical community in Rowan County, is currently for sale by the Historic Salisbury Foundation.  Dr. J. Ernest Stokes and his wife, Rebekah Marsh Stokes, built the Colonial Revival house on the corner of North Fulton and West Kerr streets around 1922.  Stokes was one of the South's eminent surgeons and a man closely connected to the history of hospitals in Salisbury, including the founding of Rowan Memorial Hospital.  Most of today's Salisburians, however, remember the house as the home of Arnold and Kate Mills Snider.  When Mrs. Snider died in 2006, she left the 4,700-square-foot home to Historic Salisbury Foundation.
