Historic Owen-Primm Dwelling in Brentwood saved from demolition
Just weeks immediately after Brentwood officers pleaded for a “unicorn” customer to preserve the city’s endangered Owen-Primm Home, the property was bought by a “preservation-minded buyer,” in accordance to the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County.
While the buyer hasn’t yet been publicly named, they have fully commited to preserving and restoring the home, barn and five acres of residence, basis officials said.
“Core to our countywide mission, this is a excellent illustration of how developers and the Heritage Foundation do the job with each other for the betterment of the local community,” said Heritage Basis CEO Bari Watson Beasley in a information launch.
The house’s demolition was pending just after a permit to tear down the construction was filed on Dec. 14. But considering the fact that the assets was much more than 75 decades previous, demolition was instantly postponed for 90 days, for every municipal code.
The home was built as a log cabin in 1806 by Jabez Owen. The cabin was expanded to a two-story frame home in 1845 and includes slave quarters, a barn and a spring residence. The home stayed in the Owen loved ones until eventually it was obtained by the Primm household and turned into a dairy farm.

The house was positioned on the National Register of Historic Locations in 1988 and has not been occupied given that 2011. Whilst the property has sat vacant, it is fallen into disrepair with a termite infestation.
The residence following to the Owen-Primm Residence was rezoned in 2018 for household development with the prerequisite that the slave quarters be preserved, as they are deemed to have a one of a kind architectural structure.
The adjacent assets was obtained in 2019 by Jerrold Pedigo, who designs to establish homes on the land.
