Notes
Survey number HABS TN-31
Significance: This house figured prominently in local history during the Civil War, serving as headquarters for unit commanders of both the Union and Confederate armies. It was the scene of Colonel William W. Duffield's surrender of the 23rd Brigade to Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and was visited by Confederate President Jefferson Davis in 1862. The house was built in several successive stages, which present a continuum of architectural styles illustrating cultural life in Middle Tennessee during the 19th century.
