… Built ca. 1848, the Carriage Factory is one of the few remaining ante-bellum commercial buildings remaining in Gallatin. The property was purchased in 1848 by the Williamson, Adams and Company of Gallatin. Principals in the company were Robert Williamson, Luke Adams and William C. Knight, all young businessmen of the city. The company constructed the two-story brick building soon after its purchase of the property as the offices and shops for a carriage manufacturing business. … After the [Civil] war the Carriage Factory building was the center of the Harrison Barracks of the Union occupation forces. … As the headquarters for occupation forces the carriage factory building assumed new prominence as the center for military activities in the community.
