"In the 1880s Pulaski had grown to 3,000 people. Industries of this period
included cotton mills, a tan yard, a carriage factory, and other light
manufacturers. A number of the industries processed agricultural products
from the surrounding area. Farm Lane, now Sam Davis Avenue, was no longer
on the edge of the city and more houses were built there. Within the
district, three large frame houses - 102 South Sam Davis Avenue (#11), 108
South Sam Davis Avenue (#12), and 200 South Sam Davis Avenue (#20) - were
built on similar two story cross gable plans. All feature one story threequarter length hip roof porches, stone foundations, and interior corbeled
brick chimneys. ..." ~ NRHP Nomination Form, PDF page 11
