Chair Thomson called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m. A copy of the meeting agenda is attached to these minutes as Exhibit A. Item 1: Approve Minutes – February 13, 2018 Historic District Commission meeting. Mr. Wilson motioned to approve the minutes of the February 13, 2018 meeting. Ms. Bradley Love seconded the motion and the motion passed 3 ayes, 0 nays. Item 2 – Conservation Districts/Historic District Guidelines Ms. Ogden presented an updated draft of the Conservation District/Historic District Guidelines. Maps and clarification of the procedure are included in the update. She asked the Board Members to supply feedback on the update. A meeting with the Mayor is scheduled for Friday to discuss adding Conservation Districts to the zoning ordinance and Historic Districts in general. Ms. Bradley Love said she would like to see grants and other incentives for property owners on the public square to provide sprinkler systems to historic properties and other improvements. She added that the City Council has discussed this possibility to help historic property owners. Mr. Thomson said he does not agree with sprinkler systems in historic houses only in commercial properties. When sprinkler systems are activated, they may ruin historic objects in the homes. Ms. Bradley Love asked if there are fire walls in the properties on the public square. Mr. Thomson said fire walls were not available when some of the public square buildings were constructed. Gallatin Historic District Commission Meeting Minutes 2 March 13, 2018 Ms. Bradley Love said some of the public square property owners were concerned about more regulations on their properties. Ms. Ogden said that is why conservation districts are being explored. Mr. Wilson said the property owners would be involved in creating the Conservation Districts. Item 3 – Outstanding Historic District Problem Properties Mr. Wilson said the Bank’s House at 756 East Main Street has had a lot of work done on the property. Item 4 – Woodson Terrace Street Reports There were no issues to report. Item 5 – East Main Street Historic District Street Reports There were no issues to report. Item 6 – Other Business There was no other business to report.

Open fields in rural Sumner County surround it. The house is approached by a gravel drive which crosses a bridge over a stream that flows into East Station Camp Creek. The gravel drive continues up the hill passing an old shed on the left (northeast of dwelling), curving right across the front (north) of the dwelling, and then curving around to the garage located near the southwest corner of the dwelling. The front yard of the dwelling contains a shrub-lined walkway leading to the front porch. The front yard also contains a dozen old, large trees planted in the mid- to late 1800s. The approaches to the house and yard are a mix of modern features and the remains of historic features. The actual date of construction for Maple Cottage is uncertain. Based on the style of the house and deed research, the construction date is estimated to be between 1825 and 1850. It is likely that the house was constructed circa 1825 and the front portico and rear ell were added circa 1850. The house is a one and one-half story, raised cottage brick dwelling with classical and Greek Revival influences. It has a standing seam metal gable roof, double-hung six-over-six windows, functioning wooden shutters, and a continuous brick foundation. The windows retain their original lintels and frames. The L-plan dwelling has three interior end brick chimneys. In 1991, a room was added to the south elevation. Set back from the historic part of the house, the addition is in the approximate location of a historic addition. Modern decking, driveway, pool and landscaping were also added to the property at this time. Five original windows are extant; six windows have been replaced. The north facade is dominated by a one bay, central Greek Revival pedimented portico. Four square wooden columns with Ionic-influenced capitals support the portico. A simple wood balustrade and two pilasters are additional decorative elements of the porch. Steps lead to the brick and frame porch. The primary entry retains an original wood panel door capped by a multi- light transom window and lintel. Glass and multi-light sidelights flank the door. Six-over-six double-hung windows with shutters are found on both sides of the entry. The raised basement, or half-story, windows on the primary facade are double-hung three-over-three design. They are placed directly below the larger windows. The frame addition contains multi-light ribbon windows on its north facade. There is no fenestration on the east elevation. The rear porch, situated in the ell of the house, and deck, are visible from this view. Plain wood columns resting on brick piers support the raised porch floor. The rear (south) elevation has a reconstructed one and one-half-story porch with a simple wood balustrade, square columns and screening. Behind the porch on the first story is a six-over-six window, while the lower story has the smaller three-over-three window with functioning shutters. The brick ell of the original house has a single double-hung window. Walkways are located at both the primary floor level and half/sub-level entrances, facing east and south. The modern frame addition and decking are seen on this elevation. NPSFORM 10-900-A OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Maple Cottage Section number 7 Page 2 Sumner County, Tennessee At the west elevation is the 1991 addition with single-light windows, synthetic siding, and a brick foundation. A pedimented porch, also constructed in 1991, extends further west of the addition with a frame deck that continues around the south. The floor plan of Maple Cottage makes use of the central-passage plan. There is a formal central entrance hall (foyer) that leads to rooms on the east and west. The room to the west expands back into an ell, with one room allowing access to other rooms in the rear of the house. The interior of the dwelling has hardwood floors throughout the main level. Door openings are highlighted by molded surrounds and paneled casings. The original portion of the floor plan has no stairs inside the structure. The back porch contains the stairs that allow access to rooms in the lower floor, which duplicates the plan of the upper floor. Former owners placed drywall over the plaster walls. The most noticeable historic feature of the entrance hall is the principal entrance to the house. Paired two panel doors are flanked by sidelights composed of four light windows and panels. A multi-light transom and molded surrounds are additional features of the entrance. Hardwood floors, baseboards and a two panel door with molded surrounds are also seen in this area of Maple Cottage. Molded door and window surrounds, picture railing and baseboards embellish the room used as a living room. The fireplace in this room has a simple wood mantle piece, pilasters resting on plain bases and brick lining. A built-in bookcase is situated to the north of the fireplace. Like other rooms in Maple Cottage, the bedroom has hardwood floors, picture railing, molded surrounds and baseboards. The wood fireplace has a plain mantle piece, pilasters and brick lining. Both the dining room and the sitting room have wood fireplaces, molded wood trim, hardwood floors and paneled doors. The lower level of the house contains only one fireplace with a mantle. Baseboards, molded surrounds and paneled doors are found throughout the lower level of the house. The current addition was built in 1991 with respect to the historic addition. The door that now leads to the kitchen previously led out to a porch that gave access to the addition. The stairs in the addition allow the only interior access to the lower level. The door on the lower level that now leads to the addition was previously a window. A photograph taken in 1894 shows the exterior of the house looked much as it does today, including having an addition on the west. There are four other buildings or structures on the property: Garage. 1991. Frame, weatherboard siding, standing seam metal roof, two and one-half cars. Noncontributing. Pool. 1991. Noncontributing.

The raised cottage plan was built with classical details, such as the window lintels, circa 1825. Around 1850 the Greek Revival pedimented portico was added to the facade. This house is the only known example of a raised cottage plan in Sumner County. The interior retains its wood fireplace mantels, doors, and decorative wood trim. A modern addition was added to the house in 1991. Set back from the main body of the building, the addition does not detract from the overall integrity of the dwelling. The floor plan of Maple Cottage makes use of the Georgian formal central-passage plan that dominated Tennessee architecture from 1820 to 1850. This plan used a formal central entrance that led to rooms on the left and right, with access to another level with an identical plan. (Architecture in Tennessee, 63). Like Maple Cottage, many plans were expanded into an ell form, where one room allowed access to rooms in the rear of the house. All these rooms traditionally had access to a back porch. (Architecture in Tennessee, 62). Because Maple Cottage had no interior stairs, the back porch contained stairs allowing access to rooms in the lower floor. Maple Cottage's exterior appears as it did when it was first built. Through observing old photographs, the exterior restoration was finished in 1996. Although not many of the original wooden shutters remain, the new wooden shutters were custom made to be identical in appearance, size and function. The exterior walls were painted, because the house has always been whitewashed or painted. Although new stairs were made to replace the damaged ones on the front porch, the rest of the fabric of the original front and back porches is intact. The property on which Maple Cottage rests, was granted to Mussenden Matthews in 1787 by the North Carolina General Assembly in consideration for his service in the Revolutionary War. (North Carolina Land Grants, Book 1, 394). The land was sold to William Snoddy in 1791. Snoddy sold the land to Matthew Anderson who bequeathed it to his son Stephen Anderson in 1803. In 1811 Stephen Anderson sold the property to James and Mary Cryer. (Sumner County Records, Book 3, 362; Book 6, 113). Upon James Cryer's death in 1817, his estate granted a widow's dower to his wife, Mary Cryer. This estate included the land on Long Hollow Pike including a dwelling house, road and spring house. (Sumner County Records, Book 9, 60). This is the first time any dwelling is mentioned. Previous owners believed that this dwelling, or part of it, was Maple Cottage. Although solid documentation of Maple Cottage's existence cannot be found, documentation of other activities on the land can. James Cryer was a Sumner County Commissioner in the late 1790s and was involved in the formation and development of Gallatin. (The Great Leap NFS FORM 10-900-A OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Maple Cottage Section number 8 Page 7 Sumner County, Tennessee Westward, 78). Until the first Sumner County Courthouse was built in 1803, court was held in various houses in the county, including Cryer's home. (The Great Leap Westward, 83). More significant to the land in which Maple Cottage rests is James Cryer's development of horse racing. The first public race meetings in Middle Tennessee were held on Cryer's farm on Long Hollow Pike at the east fork of Station Camp Creek. (American Thoroughbred, 96 - 98). Andrew Jackson rode in many of these races, although without much success. The race complex at Clover Bottom (NR 4/3/75) is said to have been fashioned after James Cryer's racetrack. Unfortunately, there are no significant remains of Cryer's track. In 1819, Mary Cryer sold the property to James Stratton. (Sumner County Records, Book 9, 60). The Stratton family cemetery still lies on an adjoining property a few hundred yards from Maple Cottage. James Stratton sold the property to David Chenault in 1845 and in 1849 Chenault sold the property to Robert Elkin. (Sumner County Records, Book 19, 261). During the time in which Elkin and his wife, Lucy M., owned the property, it has been said that Maple Cottage attained its present form and style. During the Civil War, tradition has it that the Confederate soldiers used Maple Cottage for a hospital and later the Union soldiers used the house to store ammunition. An 1878 Sumner County map shows Maple Cottage on Long Hollow Pike in District 4. In 1889, Amanda Harris purchased Maple Cottage from the Elkins. (Sumner County Records, Book 30, 272). The first photograph recorded of Maple Cottage was taken in 1894 with Mrs. Harris and several members of her family. (>A Celebration of Homes, 103). The Harris family, as well as those who followed, used Maple Cottage as a farmhouse. Amanda Harris sold the property to Byrd Anderson and his sons, H.H. and Ed L. Anderson, in 1909. (Sumner County Records, Book 61, 99). The property was later sold to S.O. and Mary J. Dillon in 1916 and finally to James Douglas and Jane Lewis in 1917. (Sumner County Records, Book 72, 414; Book 75, 532). The Lewis family held the property until 1991. The Lewis family used the lower level for cooking, dining, storing fresh and canned food and storing coal. The upper level was used for bedrooms with the exception of the foyer, which was used for "courting." Although electricity was added, no indoor plumbing was added. The Lewis family continued to farm the land until it was sold to Joel and Cathy Moss in 1991. (Sumner County Records, Book 207, 559). Renovations and restorations began immediately. The Moss family restored the interior, being careful to leave the original floor plan in place. Plumbing was included in the addition to the west side of the structure in proximity to the original addition. NPS FORM 10-900-A OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Maple Cottage Section number 8 Page 8 Sumner County, Tennessee Scott and Barbara Adkins purchased Maple Cottage in 1995. (Sumner County Records, Book 542, 424). The Adkins family finished restoration of the interior and restored the exterior to its original antebellum appearance. Sumner County has a number of two story brick Greek Revival or classical influenced residences that were built in the first half of the nineteenth century. Greenfield (NR 11/7/90), Hazel Path (NR 4/5/84), the James B. Jameson House (NR 11/25/85) and Oakland (NR 10/2/92) were all constructed during this time frame. They are two story brick residences with one bay pedimented porticos and symmetrical detailing. None of these residences represent the smaller scale raised cottage plan that Maple Cottage has. NPSFORM 10-900-A OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Maple Cottage Section number 8 Page Sumner County, Tennessee jooi..MKL?«.- iV,jy-vsar^. v^Vtfr; •v#u,*i.~jXt;: w'5'i J'l/hv-Y--iI'; L, NPS FORM 10-900-A OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Maple Cottage Section number 9 Page 10 Sumner County, Tennessee Major Bibliographical References Anderson, James Douglas.
