Regarding Laurelwood. Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places registration form:

The Proctor, George N., House (UN-22) built circa 1854, is an elegant and well-maintained example of the grand style of residential architecture commonly constructed by wealthy farmers and slave holders of the Old South. The Greek Revival house is the centerpiece of the once self-sustaining Proctor farm. It and a summer kitchen are all that remain of the farm from the antebellum period.
