Description and history

The land originally belonged to E. L. Gardenshire.[2] In 1889, it was sold to Calvin N. Davis, who served in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War and later worked as a merchant in Nashville, Tennessee.[2] In 1889, Davis moved to Carthage with his wife and eight children.[2] In Carthage, he was a co-founder of the Rewoda Milling Company and the Carthage Tobacco Works.[2]

Shortly after acquiring the land in 1889, Davis built this two-storey house.[2][3] It was designed in the Victorian architectural style.[2][3]

The house was purchased by T. P. Bridges in 1900.[2] Four years later, in 1904, it was acquired by J. H. Officer.[2] Officer rented out rooms to Professor W. T. Call and his students at the adjacent Joseph W. Allen School.[2] (The school building was later demolished.)[2]

In 1906, the house was purchased by William Hull,[3] the father of Cordell Hull, who served as the United States Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944.[2] However, Secretary Hull only lived there in 1907.[2]

By 1914, the house was sold to Arthur H. Hackett.[2] It was purchased by Gladys Hackett Moore in 1920.[2] It was then acquired by his son in 1976.[2] On 11/13/2019 the house was purchased by Snowcreek Properties, LLC located in Carthage, Tn.
