Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Forbes-Mabry House is a historic house in Clarksville, Tennessee, U.S..

History

The house was built in 1859 for William A. Forbes,[1] a professor of Mathematics and Natural History at Stewart College, later known as Rhodes College, who was also a tobacco investor and served on the board of the Memphis, Clarksville and Louisville Railroad.[2] During the American Civil War, Forbes joined the Confederate States Army, and he died at the Second Battle of Bull Run.[1][2]

Congressman Cave Johnson, Mrs. Forbes' step-father, lived in the house with her during the Civil War.[2] His three sons from another marriage also served in the CSA - two of them in the 14th Tennessee Infantry under Col. Forbes.[2] Mrs. Forbes lived in the house until her death in 1891, and it was purchased by Thomas L. Mabry in 1899.[2] It remained in the Mabry family until 1973.[2]

By 2011, it was the residence of Patsy Sharpe, an ornament designer.[1]

Architectural significance

The house was designed in the Italianate architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 12, 1995.[3]
