The Alexander Ewing House is a historic mansion in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S..
History
The house was built in 1821 for Alexander Ewing, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War and the owner of 13 slaves.[2] It was designed in the Federal architectural style.[2] After his death, the house was inherited by his son William Black Ewing.[2] By 1846, another son, Randall Ewing, sold the house to Cornelius Waggoner.[2] By 1850, Randall Ewing moved westward for the California Gold Rush.[2] Meanwhile, Cornelius Waggoner lived in the house until 1872, when it was inherited by his son, Benjamin F. Waggoner.[2]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 25, 1980.[3]
