Falcon Rest, also known as the Clay Faulkner House, is a historic house in Warren County, Tennessee. It was built in 1896-1897 for Clay Faulkner, the son of politician and mill owner Asa Faulkner, who lived at Falconhurst.[1]
Faulkner lived in the house with his wife, Mary King Saunders, and their five children.[1] He was the owner of the Great Falls Cotton Mill.[1] From 1929 to 1941, the house was owned by Dr. Herman Reynolds, who welcomed patients into his home.[1] McMinnville Mayor W. V. Jones was the owner from 1943 to 1945.[1] The house was later used as a hospital, until it was remodelled as a private residence by the Grissoms and the McGlothins in the 1980s.[1]
The house was designed in the Queen Anne architectural style.[1] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992.
Since 1993, the house functions as a bed-and-breakfast, and some people claim it is haunted.[2] [3]
