The Thomas Brown House is among the best two-story vernacular I-house examples in the county (along with the William King House, the Alpheus Truett House, the Claiborne Kinnard House, the Beverly Toon House, and the Stokely Davis House).[3]{{rp|42}}[4] It was located on the Harpeth River branch of the Natchez Trace. Singer Jimmy Buffett owned the house in the late 1980s.[5] It is built amidst[5][6] and named for, Old Town, a village site of Mississippian culture with mounds. It is located near Old Town Bridge, the remains of a Natchez Trace bridge. Original OwnerThomas Brown was born in Virginia in 1800 and moved to Williamson County, Tennessee, in 1822. Brown became a prominent farmer and purchased a large amount of land from William O'Neal Perkins in 1840. Brown began construction of this two-story frame house in 1846 with builder Prior Lilly acting as contractor. Little is known about Lilly but he is also the attributed contractor of the H.G.W. Mayberry House (MW-676), a brick central passage plan residence built ca. 1856. Thomas Brown was listed in 1860 with real estate valued at $25,000 and personal property of $34.500. At his death in 1870, he owned 546 acres of valuable land along the Harpeth River. Brown had six children and his daughter, Bethenia Brown Miller, lived at the house until her death in 1913.[7] ExteriorOld Town is a two-story frame central passage plan antebellum residence with Greek Revival detailing. On the main (east) facade is an original two-story portico with square columns and Doric capitals. On the second story balcony is a lattice railing and in the gable field is dentil molding. The main entrance has an original four panel frame door, two light sidelights with frame lower panels, and a two light transom. Dividing the door and sidelights are fluted Doric motif plasters. The door has rectangular frame panels and a dentilled cornice. On the central bay of the second story is an original door with features to match the main entrance. Windows on the main facade are original paired four-over-four sash with 19th century shutters. Over the windows are dentiled cornices and dentils are also located along the roof cornice. The house has weatherboard siding, exterior end brick chimneys, a gable roof of composition shingles, and a stone foundation.
