On the high ground about 100 yards east stood Waverly, home of A.W. Putman, writer and authority on pioneer James Robertson. Hence the name “Waverly Place” which resulted from a syndicate promotion in the 1880s by J. F. Yarbrough, H. W. Grantland, W. M. Morrison, John White, Baxter Smith, C. L. Ridley, Percy Warner, J. C. Warner and J. F. Wheless. Note: One of the names appearing on the marker is thought to be incorrect. W.M. Morrow is said to have been a member of the syndicate which promoted Waverly Place. City directories of the period list W.H. Morrow”.
Waverly Place was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 28, 1985.
