Regarding 152 Buford Place. Excerpt from the National Register nomination for the Vineville Historic District, which includes this house but does not specifically reference it:
Vinevilleis a largely residential area located on a low plateau in the gently rolling fall-line terrain about a mile and a half northwest of downtown Macon, The area encompasses about 525 acres of land and includes more than 700 properties. It displays a heritage that began in the early-nineteenth century as a community of large agrarian estates and slowly evolved during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries into a compact, homogeneous suburb. Houses in this area date from the 1830s to the 1930s and range in size from large mansions to modest cottages. Early-nineteenth-century styles and types like the Plantation Plain are present, but late-nineteenth-century Victorian, tum-of-the-century Neoclassical, and early-twentieth-century Bungalow and Period houses predominate.
