The Owen-Primm House was originally a log cabin built by Jabez Owen in 1806, and later expanded with wood framing by Thomas Perkins Primm in 1845.[3] This property in Brentwood, Tennessee was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Dr. Jabez Owen was a prominent physician and planter in Brentwood who owned hundreds of acres around Moores Lane, Wilson Pike, and Concord Road. Dr. Owen was one of the wealthiest men in Williamson County, and at his death in 1850 he owned 58 slaves.[4] Some of these antebellum slave cabins still stand on the property today.[5]

It was built or has other significance in c.1806, c.1845, and c.1900. It includes Central passage plan and other architecture.[1]

When listed the property included four contributing buildings and two contributing structures on an area of 1.8 acres (0.73 ha).[1]

The property was covered in a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources.[2]
