About this property

The Frederick Stump Tavern-Inn is a historic house in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. It was built by Colonel Frederick Stump, an early settler of Nashville who arrived in the region as part of the first group of white settlers at Fort Nashboro in 1779. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 2, 1973. The two-story building is constructed of red cedar logs and has eight rooms, including two sleeping rooms on the upper floor and one on the bottom floor. It originally sat closer to the road, but was moved back approximately 100 feet when Buena Vista Pike was widened. The structure is directly down the street from the Alexander Ewing House, another listed historic building constructed in 1821 that sits approximately 850 feet to the north of the Stump House.
