The story
The McLemore House is a property in Franklin, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It has been part of an African-American neighborhood since the 1880s. It is also known as the Harvey McLemore House. McLemore, born into slavery, became successful after gaining freedom after the war and purchased land and had the house built on it. The freedman had become a successful farmer. This has also been known as the House and Estate of Maggie Matthews. (She was a daughter of Harvey McLemore and his wife, who inherited and lived in the house after her parents.) The house was built in Hard Bargain, a 15-acre area owned by attorney William S. McLemore, who subdivided it after 1873 for residences. Most of the early residents of this area were African-American freedmen and their families, and they created a community that has survived.
