Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Devon Farm is a historic farm in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 28, 1974.[1]

History

The property was established as a 6,955-acre land grant by John Davis, a surveyor from North Carolina, in the 1790s.[2][3] Davis built a red brick farmhouse.[3] It was subsequently inherited by his daughter Fannie and his son-in-law, Morris Harding, in 1816.[3] The couple lived on the farm for the next five decades, a period that included the American Civil War.[3]

By 1865, the farm was inherited by Fannie Davis Harding's nephew, Edward Dickson Hicks II.[3] Hicks imported Devon cattle from England, and he renamed the farm Devon Farm.[3] It was later inherited by Edward Dickson Hicks III, who lived there with his wife Harriet Cockrill, the granddaughter of Mark R. Cockrill.[3] By 1946, the farm was inherited by their son, Edward Dickson Hicks IV.[3]
