The Constantine Sneed House, also known as Windy Hill, is a historic mansion in Brentwood, Tennessee. It was one of four houses built by the Sneed family on the Old Smyrna Road.[3]

History

The mansion was built circa 1825.[1] It was built by Constantine Sneed (1790-1864),[3] the son of James Sneed and the great-great-great-great uncle of Carly Fiorina, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who received a land grant of 640 acres and Williamson County in 1798.[2] One of Constantine Sneed's brothers was Reverend Joseph P. Sneed.[4]

It is a two-story brick house, upon a fancy dressed limestone foundation, with brick on the front facade laid in Flemish bond and other facades having five course common bond.[3]

Architectural significance

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988.[1] When listed the property included the main, brick two-story house, which was the listing's one contributing building. It also included one contributing structure, one non-contributing building, and one non-contributing structure, on an area of 8.2 acres (3.3 ha).[2][1]
