Inscription. The Crieve Hall neighborhood was part of the over 2,000-acre estate of John Overton, on which he built Travellers Rest in 1799. Jesse M. Overton built an English Tudor-style house called Overton Hall near here in 1900. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Farrell purchased the estate in 1925, expanded the home and extensive gardens, and renamed it Crieve Hall after the ancestral Farrell home in Northern Ireland. The house was razed in the 1950s, and Crieve Hall Elementary School opened in 1955.
