Regarding Millennium Manor. It was built by William Andrew Nicholson and his wife, Fair, between 1937 and 1946. Nicholson, a mason and carpenter who worked at the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) plant across the street, used Roman architectural techniques in building the home of Tennessee Pink Marble. The Nicholsons intended for it to survive Armageddon (which they believed would occur in 1969) and for a thousand years beyond, hence the Millennium Manor name. Fair Nicholson died in 1950, and her husband died in 1965. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
