Situated west and north of Nashville and Davidson County, Cheatham County advertises that it is "Close to Everything, but Away From it All." Formally established in 1856 by dividing up several other counties, Cheatham County was home to manufacturing, mills, resorts, and a thriving railroad community. The county purchased 50 acres of land from James Lenox, founded Ashland City and made it the county seat in 1859. The Cheatham County Courthouse (above) replaced the temporary courthouse in 1869 and sits in the middle of Ashland City.

Great building, and looks like it is in the country.
This is a very stately looking building.
Very nice looking building and it looks well maintained.
i love big old brick buildings like this. as a kid i always wanted something like this for a house 'when i grew up', but now i don't think i'd want the heating or cooling bills for anything that big and drafty. =)
It is a beautiful brick building and so well preserved for its age.
That is a very nice building...lovely architecture.
We didn't see even one snowflake...in fact, we haven't seen any so far this year. Just a little sleet. I was hoping for one pretty little snow before Spring comes. But, winter isn't over quite yet...
A stately mansion. Well documented post Chris.
