History

The house was built as a two-story log house circa 1789 for Henry Turney, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War of 1775–1783 who received a 1,280-acre land grant for his service in 1788. [2] In 1798, it was acquired by Captain William Alexander, another veteran of the Revolutionary War who worked as a tanner. [2] President Andrew Jackson often visited his friend Alexander in the house. The latter's daughter married William Hall, who served as the seventh governor of Tennessee from 1829 to 1829. [2]

The house was acquired by John Hutchins in 1853, and expanded in a T shape by carpenter Samuel Andrews circa 1857. [2] In 1889, it was sold to J. W. Darwin and J. A. Pruett. By the 1990s, it belonged to one of their descendants. [2]

Architectural significance

The house was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style during the 1857 expansion. [2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 1, 1992. [1]
