"Sam Davis Avenue, named for a Confederate hero, was known as Farm Lane at
the time of Davis execution in 1863. One house remains from this period,
the 1858 Vaughn-Stacy House at 111 South Sam Davis Avenue (#13). ...
"At the time of Davis execution, two small houses, occupied by Mrs. Nancy
A. Vaughn and Mr. and Mrs. E.V. Lunsford stood at the north end of Farm
Lane, the forerunner of the present street. Of these, only the Vaughn
house remains, at 111 South Sam Davis Avenue (#13). Giles College, a large
brick building housing a private school, once stood at the south end.
"Of this
group, only the 1858 Vaughn-Stacy house (#13) remains." ~ NRHP Nomination Form, PDF pages, 2, 3, & 11
