Regarding Proctor-Rowland House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Immediately north of the [Dr. John] Todd house, facing east on North Third Street is the Proctor-Rowland House erected circa 1841 by Robert Montgomery on a lot adjoining the property of Dr. Todd. It was included in the tract of land Montgomery purchased from Todd in 1836. After completing the house Montgomery sold it to Benjamin Proctor. The Proctor-Rowland house was for many years the home of the Centre College professor, John Redd.
