The Richland–West End Historic District is a historic district on the Western side of Nashville, Tennessee. It comprises approximately a 12-block area consisting mostly of Bungalow/craftsman architecture and about 70 Foursquare-style houses.^[2]

History

In the Antebellum Era, the district was a plantation owned by John Brown Craighead, the son of Presbyterian minister Thomas B. Craighead. John Brown Craighead's wife, Jane Erwin Dickinson, was the widow of a man killed in an 1806 duel with future U.S. president Andrew Jackson.^[2] The plantation remained in the Craighead family until the end of the American Civil War.^[2] By 1905, the Richland Realty Company developed the area, by laying out streets and building bungalows.^[2]

The district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 16, 1979.^[1]

The original Craighead House has award-winning gardens and architecture.
