History

It was later purchased by Major John Scott, followed by Eliza Gerding Hannah McFerrin, an heiress to coal mines, the widow of Confederate Major John Harvey Hannah and future wife of Dr. R. A. McFerrin, in 1886. The McFerrins lived here with their two sons, General Harvey H. Hannah and Gerald Gerding Hannah, and their daughter, Bernice McFerrin. They added a front porch in 1898. The house was inherited by their daughter, who married Lewis Vaughan Blanton.
