Murdoch House - 1880 - Jackson, Tennessee

The East Main Street Historic District located in Jackson, Tennessee is a residential area immediately east of the central business district where many prominent political & business leaders of Jackson once lived. The district includes twenty-two (22) residences built between 1870 & 1915 and represents the major trends in residential architecture from the late Victorian period to the early twentieth century. This is the only collection of such buildings in Jackson.

The majority of houses in the district constructed between 1870 and 1900 illustrate the influence of the Queen Anne style. This is evidenced by their asymmetrical massing, the combination of hip & gable roof forms, and the frequent use of verandas with Eastlake ornamentation. The Murdoch House (seen in the photograph above) also fits this style while expressing the Queen Anne feeling in quite a different manner. The emphasis here is more on active massing rather than a complexity of details. Built circa 1880, the Murdoch House consists of 2½ stories, brick exterior, hipped roof with gabled projections, encircling Eastlake veranda, a small second-story corner porch, fish scale shingles in the gables, and a beautiful bay window.

The East Main Street Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 3, 1980. All the information above was found in the original documents submitted for listing consideration found here:
npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/d0b70d49-2bb3-470b-aa7...

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
