Hamilton Hall (now Baskerville Manor), built in the Italianate style popular in the antebellum South, was constructed in the late 1850s by the Whitfield family. The house featured characteristic elements of the style, such as columns, a symmetrical shape, a tower, and a wide entryway. The Whitfield's wedding present sold the home to the Hatch's. Marcellus Hatch lost the home to Richard Moore in a poker game. Moore's descendants sold the home to the Hamiltons - relatives of President Andrew Jackson's wife Rachel. The Hamiltons' purchase and subsequent care of this historic home demonstrated their commitment to preserving Columbus's architectural heritage. A legacy that continues today is now named Baskerville Manor.
