Owen-Primm House

The Owen-Primm House features a two-story frame structure with four columns supporting a front porch and Greek Revival architectural elements throughout the building.

Originally constructed as a log cabin in 1806 by physician Jabez Owen, the house expanded into a larger residence when Thomas Perkins Primm added wooden framing in 1845.

The property contains two log slave cabins from 1845 with shared stone chimneys, reflecting the agricultural and social structures of antebellum Tennessee plantations.

The 1.8-acre property includes multiple structures: the main house, slave quarters, a 1920s stone springhouse, a weatherboard barn, and additional outbuildings from the 1930s.

One original log within the structure bears the carved date of 1806, providing physical evidence of the building's initial construction period.
