McCampbell House





There are many great, historically significant homes in Nashville. One of which is the McCampbell House in the Donelson neighborhood. The McCampbell house is a two-story brick Federal-style home and was built around 1790 by the Hall brothers. The McCampbell family acquired the estate in the 1840s. Since the mid-20th century, most of the grounds have subdivided and developed. The McCampbell House remained a private residence although in recent years deferred maintenance has resulted in the house and grounds becoming overgrown and deteriorated. The owner recently passed away and willed the vacant house to the State of Tennessee. It could be an amazing home, but the longer it sits vacant the greater the cost of renovation. I'm going to add this house to my wish list.
