Rural Mount, State Route 160 vicinity, Morristown, Hamblen County, TN
Summary
Significance: Rural Mount was reputedly built in 1799 by Alexander Outlaw for his son-in-law Joseph Hamilton. Both of these men were instrumental in founding the States of Franklin and later of Tennessee. Rural Mount commands an impressive hilltop position overlooking the valleys of the Nolichucky River and its tributaries. Its random ashlar limestone construction is similar to several houses of the period in this vicinity. The interior stair brackets and mantelpieces resemble designs illustrated in late eighteenth century builder's handbooks.
