16 rooms. Mary Theodora was given the South store room and cellar with 30 feet of the property east of said store room, Ella was given the North store room and cellar with 30 feet of the property east of said store room, and Henry Reuben was given the other two store rooms and the new boarding house above. Ellen was given the right to live in one of these boarding rooms for the remainder of her life. The Starbuck family continued to use and live in the old mansion until about 1916. After Ellen's death, and the termination of Ellen's lifelong right to live in the mansion, Henry Reuben Starbuck sold the property to the city of Winston-Salem for $82,500 on March 29, 1920. The city demolished the house to build the Winston-Salem City Hall in its place. The construction of the city hall concluded in 1926. Legacy Following Starbuck's death in 1887, his only son, Henry Reuben Starbuck, took over the family's law practice. Henry attended the Salem Boys School as a child, and graduated from the University of North Carolina with a BA degree. Henry spent a year studying law under Col. George Nathaniel Folk in Caldwell County. He was admitted to the bar by 1888. After having received his own license two years prior in 1886, Adolphus Hill Eller moved to Forsyth, where he became a partner with Henry in the family practice. Henry Starbuck met Eller while they were both attending the University of North Carolina, where the two were roommates. Henry Reuben Starbuck was elected as a Superior Court Judge in 1894. Upon his elevation to the bench, Eller took over the former Starbuck offices alone. In 1913, Eller added Richard Gordon Stockton as a new partner. Henry Reuben Starbuck kept his position as Superior Court Judge for eight years. He was elected to the North Carolina Senate in 1909 and 1911. In 1925 the state legislature appointed him as the first Judge of the newly created Forsyth County Court, where he was reappointed by the Governor for three additional terms. After his time in the Forsyth County Court, Henry Reuben returned to law practice with his son William. He continued to practice until a few months before his death in 1958.
