History

The mansion was built circa 1825.[2] It was built by Constantine Sneed (1790-1864),[3] the son of James Sneed and the great-great-great-great uncle of Carly Fiorina, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who received a land grant of 640 acres and Williamson County in 1798.[1] One of Constantine Sneed's brothers was Reverend Joseph P. Sneed.[4]

It is a two-story brick house, upon a fancy dressed limestone foundation, with brick on the front facade laid in Flemish bond and other facades having five course common bond.[3]
