The Hugh Bright Douglas House is a historic house in Fayetteville, Tennessee. It was built in 1894 for a Confederate veteran. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The house was built in 1894 for Hugh Bright Douglas, the grandson of settler James Bright.[1] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, Douglas joined the Confederate States Army and served under generals Nathan Bedford Forrest and Joseph Wheeler.[1] Douglas lived here with his wife, née Margaret Terrett, and their son, Byrd Douglas.[1] It was inherited by his granddaughter, Sarah Byrd Douglas Posey, in 1958, and sold out of the family in 1961.[1]
