The John H. McFadden House is a historic two-story house in Bartlett, Tennessee.
History
The house was built in 1840 for Dr. Samuel Bond, a settler and cotton farmer who served as a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives.[2] It survived the American Civil War of 1861–1865, when it was used as a base by the Union Army.[2] From 1870 to 1905, it belonged to Edmund Orgill.[2]
The house was acquired by John H. McFadden, a cotton broker, in 1939.[2] McFadden was an immigrant from England who served in World War I and became the president of the New York Cotton Exchange as well as an advisor to the National Cotton Council of America.[2] After his death in 1955, the house was acquired by Eric Catmur, followed by John Green.[2]
Architectural significance
The house was redesigned in the Colonial Revival style by architect Estes W. Mann in 1940.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 10, 1994.[1]
