Traveller's Rest, Farrell Parkway, Nashville, Davidson County, TN
Summary
Significance: The site on which Travellers' Rest is situated was acquired by Judge John Overton in 1796, the year Tennessee became a state. The original section of the residence, a simple two-story four-room Federal clapboard house, was erected in 1799 and added to in two subsequent stages. One of the first lawyers in Nashville, Judge Overton was a close friend and advisor of Andrew Jackson, a distinguished Tennessee jurist, and with Jackson a founder of the city of Memphis.
