320 East Main Street

Virginia native John Newton Clark, a member of the First Presbyterian Church and a city recorder for several terms of office, built this Greek Revival-style house in 1850. During the Civil War, Clark’s 19-year-old son James was killed at the Battle of Shiloh. HIs daughter Mary nursed wounded from both sides that were brought here after the nearby Battle of Stones River. The house also marks the start of the National Register-listed East Main Street Historic District.
