Riverwood, Historic house in Nashville, United States

Riverwood mansion spans 9,200 square feet and features a Greek Revival portico with six Corinthian columns on its three-story structure.

The rear wing dates from 1799, constructed by Alexander Porter, while the main Federal-style home was built in the 1820s and expanded with a third story in 1850.

The estate received numerous distinguished guests, including Presidents James K. Polk, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Howard Taft.

Since 1997, the mansion operates as an event and wedding venue, situated on 8 acres of land at 1833 Welcome Lane in Nashville.

The property's name changed from Tammany Woods to Riverwood in 1859 when Judge William Frierson Cooper purchased it due to its location near Cumberland River.
