History
The 367-acree plantation belonged to William Sanders, a planter.[3] In the 1790s, James Bradley, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, moved from Caswell County, North Carolina to Smith County, Tennessee, and purchased the plantation from Sanders.[3] Bradley owned 55 African slaves.[3]
By 1805, Bradley commissioned the construction of this two-story house in the Federal architectural style.[3][4] It was built with red bricks, with the green gable roof made with limestone.[3] The roof has a chimney on each side.[3]
