The Newton White House is a historic house in Pulaski, Tennessee. U.S..

History

[edit]

The land was granted to John White, a settler from South Carolina, in 1808.[2] His son, Newton White, a slaveholder, built the house in 1840.[2] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] After Newton White died in 1891, his widow Courtney White continued to live in the house until it was inherited by their nephew, George S. White.[2] By 1925, it was sold to the Whitt family, who sold it to the Walter Christopher family in 1943.[2]

The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 22, 1987.[3]
