Pillow Place also known as Pillow-Haliday Place is an historic plantation mansion located southwest of the city of Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee on Campbellsville Pike.

History

Gideon Pillow, a surveyor that had moved to Maury County, left 500 acres (200 ha) to be divided among his three sons. The Pillow-Haliday Place mansion and plantation buildings were built by master builder Nathan Vaught in 1850, for Major Granville A. Pillow (b.1805 in Columbia, TN; d.1868 in Clifton, TN), and was the second of three Pillow homes built. Vaught also built Clifton Place (1839) for Gideon Johnson Pillow, and Pillow-Bethel House (1855) for Jerome Bonaparte Pillow. The three mansions were closely designed but Pillow Place lacked the second story gallery and the portico had a low parapet at the top instead of a pediment. The mansion was built on the site of Gideon Pillow's old home.

NRHP

The mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Maury County, Tennessee on December 8, 1983.
