History

The mansion was built circa 1840 for James Randal McGavock, the son of Randal McGavock, who served as the Mayor of Nashville, Tennessee from 1824 to 1825 and owned the Carnton Plantation.

It was remodelled into Classical Revival style in 1902 and renamed as Riverside. This included adding the house's two-story portico and completely remodeling the interior.[1]
