Social Hall

109 East Jefferson Street, commonly known as Social Hall, is a two-story Flemish-bond brick dwelling.

Colonel John Russell Jones, a merchant who occupied the southern half of Number Nothing, purchased lots 63 and 64 on April 28, 1814 from Chiles Brand for 186 pounds (ACDB 19-56). Jones, whose wealth came from his position as financial agent for several large planters in the county, set about to construct the mansion shortly after the land was bought. Jones and his wife, Gillie Marshall Jones, continued to live on the property until April 1857, when it was sold to John H. Bibb, who held the title for 24 years. In 1881, Bibb sold the house to Hanna Kaufman who in turn sold it to Dr. J. Fulton Williams.
