Dozier Farm, also known as Cliffview Farm, is a historic mansion in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S..

History

[edit]

The land was granted to Peter Poyner for his service in the American Revolutionary War.[2] It was inherited by his brother, Robert Poyner, in the 1790s.[2] In 1801, it was purchased by Enoch Dauge who lived here with his wife, Margaret Etheridge.[2] Dauge subsequently changed his name to Dozier.[2] He owned slaves.[2] He built a loghouse, which burnt down in 1840.[2]

The current house was built from 1840 to 1842.[2] When Dozier died in 1842, it was inherited by his heirs, who eventually sold it in 1932.[2] Five years later, in 1937, it was purchased by George Hobbs.[2] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 1, 1990.[3]
