The Black-Greer-Lee House, c. 1900

328 Church Street

 

This home was built by John D. Black and his wife, Julia Belle Whatley Black in 1900. Mr. Black was employed by the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway Company. Before Mr. Black died in 1936, the house had been subdivided into a duplex. When Mrs. Black died in 1954, the estate sold the home to the Methodist Foundation for Retired Ministers for $8,216.57. They held ownership for 22 years until it was sold to George S. Davis, Jr. in 1976. Mr. Davis sold the home in 1998 to Jason & Aimee Greer.

 

The Greer’s did extensive renovation and additions to the house. They converted the house back to a single family dwelling. The current owner, Bill Lee, purchased the house in 2008. He has added a rear deck, potting porch & kitchen garden.
