Review:
The Dickson-Williams Mansion is a beautifully restored example of pre-Civil War plantation type mansion in Greenville, Tennessee. It was originally built as a home of William Dickson, Greeneville's first postmaster, in 1815. Dickson's daughter, Catharine Douglas Dickson, and her husband Dr. Alexander Williams also lived in the house. The home was called the "Showplace of East Tennessee", for its superb craftsmanship and hospitality. The house was surrounded by a formal garden, designed by Theodore Brinkermann. The Williams family entertained many famous guests in the house, such as Davy Crockett, Andrew Jackson, Marquis de LaFayette and others. During the war the house was the headquarters for both Union and Confederate officers while they were in Greeneville.
