Inscription. In 1906, Norwegian-born Andres Ivarson Myhr and wife Minnie Bolton Myhr acquired land from Tabitha DeMoss and built "Maple Row," named for trees planted along the driveway. Part of Myhr Farm, this was the first house in Bellevue to have indoor running water, electricity and central air. Dr. Myhr was State Evangelist and Secretary of the Tenn. Missionary Society for 20 years. He served as pastor of Bellevue Christian Church (1883 to 1933), that met here after the church burned.
