Regarding Wm. Holland House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
… From 1942 when thehouse was built, until 1973, William Holland, Jr. was the owner of a major commercial venture in Jackson and a promoter and civic booster for the community. Holland Department Store began in 1871 and by the time Holland was running the family company it was the largest department store in Jackson. Over the years, Holland received numerous awards and recognitions for his “boosterism” of the area. Architecturally, the house is a fine example of a late Colonial Revival style house in Jackson. J. Frazer Smith, the architect, is best remembered for his book White Pillars. However, he designed a variety of buildings in West Tennessee including homes and housing projects. The symmetrical design, inset columned porch, wide wood siding, and interior woodwork are character-defining features of this residence. Changes to the house made circa 1950 for Holland maintain the Colonial Revival style of the original. Later alterations do not detract from the style. The house still maintains its overall integrity.
