Regarding Andrew C. Vaughn House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination
The house was constructed by Andrew C. Vaughn ca. 1873 after his acquisition of six acres on the Murfreesboro Pike east of Franklin. Vaughn was born in 1837 and at the age of eighteen moved to Franklin where he ran a harness maker's shop. He married LutiLtia McAlpin in 1860 and joined the Confederate army in 1862. Vaughn was captured in 1863 but was paroled and he returned home to resume his harness business. Vaughn later opened a livery business and manufactured brick.
In 1873, he acquired six acres of land east of Franklin and constructed this two-story brick Italianate design residence. The house was built with rounded arch doors and windows, paired eave brackets and an ornate two-story porch. In 1887, Vaughn sold the house to John McFerrin after constructing an even larger and more ornate residence in Franklin. The McFerrin family owned the house for a number of years before its sale to Thomas McCall. The house continues to be occupied by McCall descendants
