The Jemison-Brandon-Waugh House was built by William H. Jemison, brother of Robert who built the Jemison House on Greensboro. William sold Thomas Maxwell the farm @ Maxwell Crossing out Highway 69 in 1853. William is buried in Greenwood Cemetery. William's son, Robert Sr.., probably grew up in the house. He moved to Birmingham and developed the Glen Iris Park and East Lake subdivisions. His son, Robert Jr., developed Mountain Brook. This Henry Wellge drawing from the 1887 panoramic map shows the house (notice its three gables) with some of the out buildings along with the Verner's University High School(labeled number 10) , the Marmaduke Williams House(1835), and the Warner-Moody House. All of those are still standing except Verner's University High School which was built by slaves using broken bricks left over from the construction of Bryce.
