Listed as the Samuel Frazier Home on the
National Registry of Historic Places, the
Frazier Home is known locally as the "old stone
house".
Built between 1750 and 1772 in the foothills of
the Appalachian mountains, it's origins are
officially documented only with the first deed
records when Tennessee became a state in
1796, and it was described as "old" at that
time.
Homesteaded in Indian territory (Territory South
of the Ohio), the house has stood in 3 different
states while never moving: first North Carolina,
then Franklin, and for the last 204 years,
Tennessee.

Beautiful in its stature and clean
lines, the Old Stone House is
shown here with a view from the
southwest. |

Made of solid marble blocks up to 3x4', it's likely
to stand hundreds more years. There's a barn of
timber frame construction nearby, and it's older
than the house. A hundred yards up the hill is the
family cemetery. With views of the nearby Smoky
Mountains National Park, this is a beautiful and
peaceful spot, and a good place to recall frontier
history and imagine the Civil War battles that
occurred right here. One spot on the front of the
house was repaired with bricks after a cannon ball
damaged the original rock during a Civil War
skirmish. |
