The James Dickson House, also known as the Sparks House, is a historic house in Linden, Tennessee. It is an example of the "Middle Tennessee I-House," a regional variation on a vernacular architecture style of central passage house with a portico.[2]
History
The house was built c. 1819, possibly earlier, making it "one of the oldest houses in the county."[3] Dickson was a magistrate for Perry County.[3]
In the postbellum era, the house belonged to the Ledbetter family.[3] When their daughter Minerva married Jessie Sparks, it became associated with the Sparks political family: J. Kent Sparks, their son, served in the Tennessee General Assembly.[3]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 28, 1985.[1]
