Gibbs-Powell House. Built in 1862, this Greek revival house was originally the home of the Thomas Gibbs Family. Used briefly as a rent house and for student housing in the 1880s and 1890s, it was purchased by Judge Ben Powell, II, in 1897. Although altered over the years, the house retains its origi

nal character and exhibits stylistic features such as square porch columns and a central entry with transom and sidelights. It became a local history museum in 1984. #8454
