I don't have Ken Lay's book, but I do have the CD that includes the book and
a larger database. There are 8 files on houses named "Belmont" in Albemarle

The house that he lists as "Belmont 4" includes a b&w photo that closely
matches the realtor's web site. Other information in this file is: Const.
