The John Pope House, also known as Eastview, is a historic house in Burwood, Williamson County, Tennessee. It incorporates hall-parlor plan architecture and single pen architecture.
The original part of the house was built of logs circa 1806 by slaves for Reverend John C. Pope, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War and a lay Methodist minister. [3] [4] Originally it "was one of the more ornate log residences built during this period in the county with wainscoting, chair rails and plaster walls." [5] Pope conducted well-attended camp meetings at locations around the area. [3] He owned 2,200 acres by 1805, and 37 slaves by 1820. [4] He deeded land for the construction of a chapel nearby in 1818. [5] He was married twice, and he had 15 children. [4] His granddaughter, Edith Pope, was the president of the Nashville No. 1 chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and second editor of the Confederate Veteran. [4]
The house has exterior brick chimneys and a standing metal seam gable roof and rests on a stone foundation. It was modified c.1880 with addition of weatherboard and with replacement/addition of four-over-four sash windows. In c.1920 a multi-light entrance doorway and a one-story frame addition to the rear were added. The addition gained metal siding c.1940. The main (east) facade gained, c.1950, a one-story gable roof porch with square Doric columns and square baluster railing; a similar porch has also been added to the north facade. [5]
Its interior includes original Federal-style mantels on its second floor. As of 1988 the house sat "on a hillside on a several hundred acre farm and retains its original site and setting." [5]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. When listed the property included one contributing building and one non-contributing structure, on 1.8 acres (0.73 ha). [1] The property was covered in a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources. [2]
