It was a home of Dr. Nathan Gaither (1788-1862), who became a doctor and volunteered to receive the smallpox vaccination under development by Edward Jenner. Gaither served as a surgeon in the War of 1812 and settled in Columbia by the end of that war. He served as a doctor and in politics: as an elected member of the Kentucky legislature from 1815 to 1818, and in the United States House of Representatives from 1829 to 1833.[2]
