Elisha Sharp House, Federal style residence in Ten Mile, Tennessee, US
A two-story brick house constructed with locally sourced materials features walls two feet thick and stands near Old Ten Mile Road north of Decatur.
Built in 1820, the property belonged to Elisha Sharp, who served as a second lieutenant in the East Tennessee guard under Brigadier General John E. Wool.
The house represents early 19th-century architectural methods, with bricks fired in a home kiln using clay from nearby Hurricane Creek.
The structure maintains its original features and stands as part of the National Register of Historic Places, designated in July 1982.
An inscription discovered during renovations revealed a message from Moulton Wood dated August 28, 1898 hidden within the walls.
