Tour of Homes

200 N. Congress St.

Built in 1884 by L. Lowry Smith, this house is on the site of a two-story brick academy known as the Franklin Institute. Purchased in 1885 by Captain J. Robert Lindsay, the home was sold shortly thereafter to the David E. Finley family. When Mr. Finley was elected to the U.S. House in 1899, the Lindsays reoccupied the residence. Mrs. Lindsay always kept in her home a “prophet's chamber” for use by visiting Presbyterian ministers. Present owner-occupants are Mr. & Mrs. Charles Medlin.
