The Copeland-Whitfield House is a historic mansion in Pulaski, Tennessee, U.S..
History
[edit]The house was built as a log house in the 1830s for Copeland Whitfield, a settler and slaveholder from Virginia.[2] Whitfield lived in the house with his first wife, Susan Harwell, and later with his second wife, Nancy Adell Butler.[2] By 1847, the house was redesigned in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2]
During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, Whitfield was hanged by members of the Union Army, but he survived.[2] After his 1891 death, his widow lived in the house until 1904.[2] Their son, Copeland George Whitfield, lived in the house with his wife, Ella May Cardin, until his death in 1946; his widow lived here until 1980.[2] It was inherited by members of the same family.[2]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 7, 1988.[3]
