In the 1852 Norfolk City Directory, he was listed as residing at 131 E. Main. If he moved soon after, it may have been the home described in Historical and Descriptive Sketches of Norfolk, 1853, as the place where Lafayette stayed during his American tour: "Mrs. Hansford's boarding-house, a fine building then, but recently erected by Capt. Robert E. Steed, at the west corner of East Main and East Streets, subsequently owned and occupied by Purser Fitzgerald, U.S.N., and now by H. B. Grigsby, Esq."
