Recently opened to the public, the Lotz House in Franklin, Tennessee, is drawing much attention from art and antique enthusiasts everywhere. Built in 1858, the Lotz House presents a compelling story of beauty and tragedy. Centered in the heart of one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles, the Battle of Franklin, the house has survived with a few battle scars such as the cannonball indentations on the wood floor. This beautiful treasure’s collection of antiques is being hailed as one of the finest privately owned American Victorian collections in the Southeast. Architecturally, this house is a marvel.
The Lotz House and Museum shop is located at 1111 Columbia Ave., Franklin, TN 37064. Open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Sunday 1–4 p.m. Admission is charged. For more information, 615-790-7190, Lotzhouse.com.
