A Tennessee review board later this month will consider four state properties for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places – and vote on the de-listing of a home in Grundy County.
Ebenezer Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Marion County is seen in this photo take May 6, 2019. The historic structure is being considered for the National Register of Historic Places. The John A. Patton House in Grundy “has lost the qualities for which it was listed,” according to a news release from Claudette Stager, the deputy state historic preservation officer.
The Patton House now exists only as a set of stone steps, Stager said Monday.
“The house is gone,” she said. “Just as in listing a property, we have to notify the property owner, present the removal before our review board, and then forward the information to the National Register.”
The house, located on Roddy Creek Road in Coalmont, was listed in the National Register on April 1, 1987, Stager said. John A. Patton was “a prominent person in Coalmont’s development. The Patton House was also listed under Criterion C for its architectural significance representing the Craftsman style.”
