Does anyone know when the Archer Anderson House that stood next to the 
Jefferson Hotel was demolished?

Archer Anderson (1838-1918) was the son of Gen. Joseph Reid Anderson 
(1813-1892). The elder Anderson's house was demolished ca. 1894 to make 
way for the Jefferson Hotel at 101 W. Franklin Street. 

The Archer Anderson House, built in 1816, stood, I think through the 
1960s...

You can see the house in this view (its the white building between 
Second Baptist Church and the Jefferson Hotel):
