History
The oldest portion of the house began as a double-pen log structure dating to the early settlement period in Columbus (c. 1817–c. 1830).[2]
According to the nomination, the property formed part of a 160-acre tract associated with Dr. Andrew Weir, who obtained patents to the land in 1834 and 1835.[2] In 1846, Robert D. Haden purchased a reduced segment of the tract and expanded and remodeled the house, giving it a Greek Revival appearance that included a front gallery and a revised interior plan.[2]
In 1879, Confederate officer and educator Stephen D. Lee purchased the property; it later passed to his son, Blewitt Lee.[2] Blewitt Lee deeded 11 acres to the city of Columbus for a public park now known as Lee Park, while the house site and remaining acreage were sold separately and further subdivided over time.[2]
In 1949, the house was purchased and renovated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Ivy, who added central heating and air conditioning and constructed a rear wing; the deteriorated east pen of the original log structure was removed during the project.[2]
The home was scheduled to be auctioned in 2022.[3]
