The **Davis-Hull House** is a historic house located at 1004 North Main Street in [Carthage, Tennessee](/source/Carthage,_Tennessee).[2] It was listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places_listings_in_Smith_County,_Tennessee) on January 4, 1983.[2]

## Description and history

The land originally belonged to E. L. Gardenshire.[3] In 1889, it was sold to Calvin N. Davis, who served in the [Confederate States Army](/source/Confederate_States_Army) during the [Civil War](/source/American_Civil_War) and later worked as a merchant in [Nashville, Tennessee](/source/Nashville,_Tennessee).[3] In 1889, Davis moved to Carthage with his wife and eight children.[3] In Carthage, he was a co-founder of the Rewoda Milling Company and the Carthage Tobacco Works.[3]

Shortly after acquiring the land in 1889, Davis built this two-storey house.[3][4] It was designed in the [Victorian architectural style](/source/Victorian_architecture).[3][4]

The house was purchased by T. P. Bridges in 1900.[3] Four years later, in 1904, it was acquired by J. H. Officer.[3] Officer rented out rooms to Professor W. T. Call and his students at the adjacent Joseph W. Allen School.[3] (The school building was later demolished.)[3]

In 1906, the house was purchased by William Hull,[4] the father of [Cordell Hull](/source/Cordell_Hull), who served as the [United States Secretary of State](/source/United_States_Secretary_of_State) from 1933 to 1944.[3] However, Secretary Hull only lived there in 1907.[3]

By 1914, the house was sold to Arthur H. Hackett.[3] It was purchased by Gladys Hackett Moore in 1920.[3] It was then acquired by his son in 1976.[3] On 11/13/2019 the house was purchased by Snowcreek Properties, LLC located in Carthage, Tennessee.
