The Richland-West End Historic District is a historic district on the Western side of Nashville, Tennessee.
History
In the Antebellum Era, the district was a plantation owned by John Brown Craighead, the son of Presbyterian minister Thomas B. Craighead, and his wife, Jane Erwin Dickinson.[2] Craighead was killed in a duel by Andrew Jackson in 1806.[2] The plantation remained in the Craighead family until the end of the American Civil War.[2] By 1905, the Richland Realty Company developed the area, by laying out streets and building bungalows.[2]
The district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 16, 1979.[3]
