Construction

It was built by Thomas Hardin Perkins, who settled in Williamson County in 1800 and began building this home at the joining of the Big Harpeth River and the West Harpeth River. It was completed c.1810 and "was one of the finest homes built in the county before 1830". It included Federal style detailing and is one of the oldest brick residences surviving in the county.[2]
