The Davis-Hull House is a historic house in Carthage, Tennessee, USA.
Location
The house is located at 1004 North Main Street in Carthage, a small town in Smith County, Tennessee, USA.[2][3][4]
History
The land belonged to E. L. Gardenshire.[3] In 1889, it was sold to Calvin N. Davis, who served in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War and later worked as a merchant in Nashville, Tennessee.[3] In 1889, Davis moved to Carthage with his wife and eight children.[3] In Carthage, he was a co-founder of the Rewoda Milling Company and the Carthage Tobacco Works.[3]
Shortly after acquiring the land in 1889, Davis built this two-storey house.[3][4] It was designed in the Victorian architectural style.[3][4]
The house was purchased by T. P. Bridges in 1900.[3] Four years later, in 1904, it was acquired by J. H. Officer.[3] Officer rented out rooms to Professor W. T. Call and his students at the adjacent Joseph W. Allen School.[3] (The school building was later demolished.)[3]
In 1906, the house was purchased by William Hull,[4] the father of Cordell Hull, who served as the United States Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944.[3] However, Secretary Hull only lived there in 1907.[3]
By 1914, the house was sold to Arthur H. Hackett.[3] It was purchased by Gladys Hackett Moore in 1920.[3] It was then acquired by his son in 1976.[3]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 4, 1983.[2]
