Wilks Brooks House

The Wilks Brooks House is a home in Memphis, Tennessee, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

[3][4] The Wilks Brooks house is the oldest example of Greek Revival architecture in the Shelby County, Tennessee area.

It served as the center of a large plantation and was located on the Cherokee Trace, once the trail used by American Indians as a major trading route.

[4] In 1898, Agnes Nelson Brooks died, and the home was no longer occupied by family members.

It sat empty for years until in 1973, descendants of Wilks Brooks moved the home to another location on the property and began reconstruction.
