(Sept. 2010) Enlarge The Todd House dates back to the 1840's and is one of the few buildings in Decatur that survived the Civil War. Originally a two-room Georgian house, it has had several additions to the rear. The front door and side lights are original to the house. It is unknown why this house was spared during the dismantling of the town in preparation for building fortifications. Captain James M. Todd bought the house in 1857 and the house may have been spared as he may have been connected since he was a steamboat captain and may have even been Mayor of Decatur
