James Lee House


Located at 690 Adams Avenue, Memphis, TN, the James Lee House was originally a two-story farm house built by William Harsson in 1848. In 1852, Charles Wesley Goyer bought the house from his father-in-law and the Goyer family, numbering 10 children, lived there until 1890.
When it became necessary to expand, Goyer made one addition in 1853, later added a tower and a third floor, and eventually unified the appearance of the rest of the house in 1873. In 1890, the house was sold to James Lee, Jr. The house ultimately became the property of his daughter Rosa, who donated it to the city to be used as the James Lee Arts Academy (later to become the Memphis College of Arts). Today the house is a museum. Photo from their website.
