      Early	Residences

On this block stood the residences of families
who contributed to the early development of 
the city. These included the house built prior 
to 1840 by WILLIAM WATERS GARRARD, planter, 
adjacent to his cotton warehouses at the north
end of the block; the house LEMUEL TYLER
DOWNING, attorney, who transplanted the elm
trees on Broad Street from his Connecticut
home: and the home of JOSEPH L. MORTON, 
partner in the firm of BARRINGER and MORTON
who built many of the early strutures in
Columbus. On the east side of Broad lived
JOHN PEABODY, JAMES RANKIN and JOHN McGough.        
      

 Marker located on Lower Broad on the other side of 
the road from the other markers.
