Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Glen Oak is a historic mansion in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S..

History

The house was built for English-born Reverend Charles Tomes and his wife Henrietta, the daughter of Bishop James Hervey Otey.[1] Its construction was completed in 1854.[1] Three years later, in 1857, it was purchased by Lizinka Campbell Brown, the daughter of Senator George W. Campbell.[1]

In 1862, in the midst of the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the house was occupied by the Union Army.[1] After the war, Brown had married Confederate General Richard S. Ewell in Richmond, Virginia, and they moved to Ewell Farm in Spring Hill, Tennessee.[1]

The house was purchased by Edgar Jones, a banker, in 1867.[1] With his neighbor, George Reid Calhoun, the brother of silversmith William Henry Calhoun, Jones decided to subdivide his land in 1911, and it became known as Hillsboro Village.[2]

Architectural significance

The house was designed in the Gothic Revival architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 17, 1983.[3]
