628 East Main Street

The gable-front and wing house was a popular style in the second half of the 19th century. Serenity, built during the 1850s, was constructed in brick and features a stick-and-ball spindle porch frieze supported by wooden rope twist columns. This type of decorative millwork would have been produced in Murfreesboro’s own lumber mills. (Residences at 618 and 407 East Main Street also reflect the gable-front and wing house form).

You are now ready to cross East Main Street and continue your tour heading back to the Downtown Square.
