Regarding Collier-Lane-Crichlow House. Excerpt from the National
this page online
The house was the residence of four Murfreesboro mayors. Ingram B. Collier was the first to live there. He served as mayor from 1872-1873, and was also the first cashier and founder of the First National Bank of Murfreesboro and a prominent cotton broker in the community. The second mayor was Newton B. Collier, who served as a colonel in the Commissary Department of the Confederate States army during the War Between the States. After the war he was a director of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad and held the office of mayor of Murfreesboro from 1878-1879. James H. Crichlow, Jr. was the third and most prominent mayor to reside at the Collier-Lane-Crichlow House; he served as mayor from 1900-1909. He remained a man of influence and prestige in Rutherford County for many years. He was president of the Board of Education when the first Murfreesboro High School was built in 1917 on Maple Street and earlier was the city's postmaster. Crichlow Grammar School, formerly the Maple Street Grammar School, was renamed in 1922 to honor the late James H. Crichlow, who was regarded as a great educator in the Murfreesboro public school system. The fourth mayor was N. Collier Crichlow, who was born at the 500 North Spring Street residence and spent his early childhood there.
