The R. P. Sorrells House is located at 220 Prince Avenue (Tax Parcel No. 17-1-A2-B-001).
 
 

Located on a major thoroughfare once lined with 19th century capital mansions, this two-story frame building features a central hall plan and utilizes a combination of Queen Anne and Neoclassical Revival features. Detailing includes a hipped roof with a variety of dormers, cornices with dentils and brackets, front and side bay windows, and a central entrance with an elliptical fanlight and sidelights. The front entrance's stained glass windows contain a fleur-de-lis symbol, and dormers feature sunbursts and decorative shingles. Containing remnants of the original porch, the one-story front porch and small side porch reflect the classical influence with Tuscan order columns, pilasters, and a dentiled cornice. A coffin crank system remains of the coffin lift, added when the building was used as a funeral home. A one-story frame servants' quarters occupies the rear of the lot.

Dr. R. P. Sorrells built the house around 1907. George Mason, a cotton buyer, purchased it in 1913. In the early 20th century, the building housed McDorman's Funeral Home. Later utilized as legal offices until 1988, the building was rehabilitated for retail use by the All Seasons Travel Service in 1991.

The R. P. Sorrells House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (January 22, 1992).
