Martin Lindsey bought the Pollard Mill, later known as the Lindsey Mill Company, where several hundred employees worked during the early 1900s, including Joe Douglas, head of the woodlands, and Percy Watson in accounting, while Lindsey handled the accounting himself. He built this Victorian-style house with virgin yellow pine lumber, including the headboard and tongue-and-groove ceilings and walls, produced and milled in Pollard circa 1890, and lived here until the family moved to Mobile. The original Queen Anne entry door remained, and the house once had three additional rooms on the east wing that were dismantled during World War II and the lumber sold because of a shortage of building materials. W.J. "Willie" McLellan, postmaster from 1901 to 1930, lived here until his death. Jim Pringle later bought the house, and his sister, Bessie Fitzgerald, and her family lived here through the war years; known for her hospitality, she allowed neighbors to use her cistern, the coldest artesian well in town, to cool their milk and watermelons before most families had ice boxes or refrigeration. The Carey Lisenby family lived here during the 1960s, and in the early 1990s the Finlay family acquired the house, began to restore it, and received an award from the Escambia County Historical Society in 1995. Its jerk jaw roof on the west side, cupola, porches that originally wrapped around three sides, and sand dollar symbol of a Christian home were all features of its Victorian style.
