McLemore House

The McLemore House is a property in Franklin, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

McLemore, born into slavery, became successful after gaining freedom after the war and purchased land and had the house built on it.

The house was built in Hard Bargain, a 15-acre area owned by attorney William S. McLemore, who subdivided it after 1873 for residences.

Several years later, after the Civil War and passage of constitutional amendments abolishing slavery and establishing the right to vote, Harvey McLemore became a freedman and gained the franchise.
