Description
Overton
Hall
,
“the
residence
of
Mr
. and
Mrs
.
Jesse
Maxwell
Overton
was
built
in
1900
by
Mr
.
Overton
.
It
is
after
the
Tudor
style
of
architecture
for
manor
houses
, and
stands
in the
midst
of a
large
park
,
thickly
wooded
with
giant
forest
trees
…
with the
closely
clipped
hedges
which
surround
the
formal
garden
and
greenhouses
,
carry
out
the
idea
and
appearance
of its
English
architecture
and
planting
. The
land
on
which
Overton
Hall
stands
was
granted
by the
United
States
government
to
Jesse
Maxwell
, the
great
grandfather
of its
present
owner
, for
services
in the
Revolutionary
War.”
Overton
was a
businessman
and
stockbreeder
, and he
built
the
home
for his
wife
Saidee
Williams
,
daughter
of
banker
John
P
.
Williams
.
Overton
Hall
was
built
on the
original
Travellers’
Rest
south
of
Nashville
, and he
ran
a
farm
,
famous
for the
breeding
of
Berkshire
hogs
and
Jersey
cattle
. The
second
owners
Herbert
and
Ritchey
Farrell
renamed
it
Crieve
Hall
,
after
a
family
ancestral
home
in
Northern
Ireland
.
It
stood
until
the
early
1950s
when
it
was
razed
for a
housing
development
. The
Tudor
brick
home
was
located
about
nine
miles
south
of
downtown
Nashville
,
two
miles
north
of
Brentwood
and
east
of
Franklin
Pike
.
One
of its
streets
is
Farrell
Parkway
,
named
for the
family
. This
digital

“Historical
