This stately Classic Revival house, built c. 1904, was the residence of Colonel Oliver Roland Hood (1867-1951), eminent Gadsden attorney and civic leader. Colonel Hood was one of the three incorporators of Alabama Power Company in 1906 and author of its charter. For 35 years Hood was closely associated with William Patrick Lay in the development of electric power in Alabama. In 1954 the Gadsden Woman's Club purchased the property to house their organization which was founded in 1923. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places May 8, 1986.
Erected in 1993 by the Etowah Historical Society and the C. Woodrow Dawson Family in memory of Jerry Morgan Dawson, past president and trustee of the Gadsden Woman's Club
