Belair, Historic mansion in Nashville, Tennessee, US.

Belair is a Federal-style mansion at 2250 Lebanon Pike, built in 1832 with pine and ash wood floors. William Nichol added a wing on each side, a winding staircase in the manner of The Hermitage, rosewood doors, silver hardware and frescoed ceilings. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since May 6, 1971.

The house was built in 1832 as a wedding gift for Elizabeth Clay from Belle Meade Plantation. William Nichol acquired the property in 1838 and added two wings with a winding staircase, expanding the original structure.

Belair was built in 1832 as a wedding present from John Harding of Belle Meade Plantation to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Joseph Clay. William Nichol, Nashville's mayor from 1835 to 1837, bought it in 1838 and added rosewood doors with silver hardware and ceilings painted with frescoes. The Chitwood family owned it from 1948, and in August 2017 the owners planned to convert it into a bed & breakfast.

Belair stands at 2250 Lebanon Pike, southeast of downtown Nashville near the Briley Parkway interchange. The house was damaged by blasting during the 1999 widening of Briley Parkway, so the surrounding road layout is modern. As of August 2017 the owners planned to convert the mansion into a bed & breakfast; check current access before visiting.

Attorney Harry H. Chitwood, whose family bought Belair in 1948, petitioned the city to save the house from demolition when Briley Parkway was built, and had it listed on the National Register in 1971. Widening of the same parkway in 1999 damaged the house through nearby blasting.
