Regarding Robert Hodge House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Robert Hodge House sits on the original site and basement of a plantationhouse built circa 1818-1820 by Lemuel Donelson. The Donelson House was destroyed by a tornado in 1900. The Hodge House was completed two years later and incorporated the foundation and basement walls of the previous house.
