Crieve Hall is located about nine miles south of downtown Nashville and two miles north of Brentwood. It was named after Crieve County Ireland, of which the owner of the Caldwell Hall estate and farm of the 1920s said it reminded him.
In the 1950s, the large farms and grand estates were subdivided and developed and in 1954 the Crieve Hall Elementary School was built. East of Franklin Road, this neighborhood is still mostly characterized by the moderately priced ranch houses built in the 1950s. It is also home to Travellers Rest Plantation and Museum, the oldest house in Nashville open to the public. In Crieve Hall you will also find the Ellington Agricultural Center, headquarters of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, the heart of the state’s agricultural interests. |
