History

The mansion was built in 1859 for David H. McGavock (1826-1896), whose family owned the Carnton plantation in Franklin, Tennessee, and his wife William "Willie" Elizabeth Harding (1832-1895), whose family owned the Belle Meade Plantation. It was designed in the Italianate architectural style. It was inhabited by the McGavock family for three generations until 1965, when it was purchased by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County from Mary Louise Bransford McGavock.

The land was turned into the Two Rivers Park and Golf Course, with eighteen holes of golf, baseball and softball diamonds, six tennis courts and a playground.
