The Meady White House is a historic house in Saltillo, Tennessee, U.S..
History[edit]
The house was built in 1847 by slaves for Meady White, who lived here with his family.[2] White lost some of his slaves in 1858 due to a lawsuit; they were auctioned in Savannah.[2] After the American Civil War of 1861–1865, White purchased land in Decatur County.[2] By the 1880s, he was a "farmer, large landowner, tanyard owner, dry goods store owner, cotton mill owner, stave business owner, and a horse breeder."[2] White lived in the house until his death in 1889.[2] It was sold out of the White family in 1913.[2]
Architectural significance[edit]
The house was designed in the Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles.[2] The ceilings were painted by John Joseph Christie in 1872–1877.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 1, 1993.[1]
