Valley Home is a historic mansion in Wartrace, Tennessee, U.S..
History[]
The house was built for Jeremiah Cleveland, a farmer from North Carolina, circa 1835.[2] Cleveland lived here with his first wife, Sarah Elizabeth Stone, and their three children; he became widowed and married her sister, Mary S. Stone, with whom he had three more children.[2] Professionally, Cleveland helped expand the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway; he was also the owner of 50 slaves by the 1850s.[2] The Clevelands owned the house throughout the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, only to sell it to Dr John Lane Walker in 1908.[2]
Architectural significance[]
The house was first designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] By 1908–1910, Classical Revival features were added to the house.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 13, 1989.[3]
