Just north of this point stands the Dr. Malcolm Nicholson Plantation Home, built in the 1820's and one of the oldest remaining structures in Gadsden County. The one-story Gulf coast cottage has end-gables, a built-in porch, brick piers, and a "dog-trot" floor plan in which a covered passage joins two parts of the house. Malcolm Nicholson, born in the Carolinas in 1790, moved to Georgia and then to North Florida, where he combined the work of physician and planter like many frontier practitioners. He was one of the commissioners who chose Quincy as the county seat of Gadsden County and a member of the group that selected the site for the Capitol in Tallahassee. In 1836, the citizens of Gadsden County appointed him to petition the President of the United States for protection against Creek and Seminole raids on the Florida frontier. He was also a stockholder in the Union Bank and served it as an appraiser. Nicholson died in 1840 and was buried in the Nicholson Family Cemetery nearby.
