The Dr. Richard Calvin Bromley House, also known as Hotel Bromley, is a historic house in Flatwoods, Tennessee, U.S..

The house was built in 1909–1911 for Dr. Richard Calvin Bromley, a physician.[2] Bromley was the son of a Confederate veteran and a graduate of the University of Nashville.[2] The house became known as Hotel Bromley because many of Dr. Bromley's friends visited frequently to hunt and fish.[2] Bromley hired two African-American "servants," who lived upstairs.[2] The house was inherited by his daughter, Celia, a graduate of Vanderbilt University, who lived here with her husband, William Allen Moore of Pulaski, Tennessee.[2] The house remained in the Bromley family until 1947.[2]

The house was designed in the Queen Anne architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 29, 1995.[1]
