The James Buchanan House is a historic log house in Nashville, Tennessee. It was built circa 1800 by James Buchanan, an early Nashville pioneer and signee of the 1789 Cumberland Compact, who built one of the earliest log homes in the area. This log house still stands today, open to the public, with its now-extinct ancient-forest American Chestnut and Tennessee Red Cedar logs with Tennessee Poplar floors on a Tennessee limestone foundation.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 29, 1984.[3]
