Drouillard House, Historic residence in Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee, US.
The Drouillard House is a three-story Italianate structure with wood siding, a wide veranda, and two extending wings in Cumberland Furnace. The design combines classical veranda details with symmetrical side wings on both sides.
The house was built between 1868 and 1870 and served as a summer residence for Mary Florence Kirkman and Captain James Pierre Drouillard following their marriage in 1864. The family later founded a church nearby and shaped the area's infrastructure.
The property owners were major patrons of the local community, supporting educational institutions open to both white and Black children. This role shows how wealthy families took responsibility for the surrounding village.
The house is located in a rural area of Tennessee and can be reached by existing roads. Visitors should expect this to be a private property typically viewed from the outside.
Inside is a remarkable three-story spiral staircase that rises to an observation platform at the top level. This architectural feature was rare for residential buildings of that era and region.
