Wolf Meadows
A photo of Wolf Meadows. The building was started in 1860, according to a medallion like ornament over the third floor balcony. The original owner, Colonel Lewis Tillman died in 1886, and in 1890 the farm was sold to Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Stewart of Alabama. Mr. Stewart passed away in 1902, and Mrs. Stewart, with the aid of her family, continued to operate the farm successfully until her death in 1946. A few years after her death the farm was purchased by Prentice Cooper. (Former Tennessee Governor and US Ambassador to Peru)
In the article on page 90 of the 1969 Sesquicentennial Historical Edition published by the T-G it is stated "In 1886 when Lewis Tillman died, the house was left to his wife but was sold in 1890 to Daniel Stewart and was occupied by Grayson Stewart until recently. It still stands on the banks of Duck River with the inscription '1860' carved in tall letters over the upper balcony".
Later the house was used as a home for mentally disabled youth. The home burned down in August of 1987.
