Language: English Repository: Williamson County Archives, Franklin, TN Collection Number: WCA 0001 Scope and Content The buildings identified in the Williamson County Historic Property Survey were originally assigned a property number as survey reports were generated. The properties were then arranged and indexed in ascending numerical order by the record creator. Each property report in the survey has its own number and corresponding folder in the collection. Most of the folders contain a simple one or two page report on the property of interest. The original reports generated in this survey range from numbers 37 to 1127. Each number represents a unique property. The Williamson County Historic Property Survey is available in the Williamson County Archives Reading Room in the form of paper reports. These reports are also available on microfilm in the reading room. It is important to note that the microfilmed reports contain photos of the inventoried properties that were generated as a part of the original reports. These photos are not in our paper report collection, and are only viewable here on microfilm. Arrangement The Williamson County Historic Property Survey is arranged as a single series of the same title.

Its mission is to protect, preserve, interpret, maintain, and administer historic places; to encourage the inclusive diverse study of Tennessee's history for the benefit of future generations; to mark important locations, persons, and events in Tennessee history; to assist in worthy publication projects; to review, comment on, and identify projects that will potentially impact; historic properties; to locate, identify, record, and nominate to the National Register of Historic Places all properties which meet National Register criteria; and to implement other programs of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended. The Tennessee Historical Commission is an independent state agency, administratively attached to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.” (From the Tennessee Historical Commission homepage available at http://www.tennessee.gov/environment/section/thc-tennessee-historical- commission as of 06/08/2017.) As part of its stated mission, the Tennessee Historical Commission initiated the Tennessee Inventory of Historic and Architectural Properties project across the state of Tennessee in 1976. On behalf of the state, individuals went out into the field and created brief reports on historic homes and buildings, including many sites in Williamson County. This survey provides a sketch of many sites in the county with historic and architectural significance, while providing limited information on each property. At first glance it appears some of these sites have gone on to be included in the National Register of Historic Places, the ultimate recognition for most types of historic buildings. As of 06/09/2017 the National Register is searchable at https://npgallery.nps.gov/nrhp. The Tennessee Inventory of Historic and Architectural Properties is an ongoing project that is still managed by the THC, and involves all 95 counties in Tennessee. Currently, properties in Williamson County, TN on the survey are mapped through the state and available online. As of 07/05/2017 that map is available at http://tnmap.tn.gov/historicalcommission/. Access and Use Access to the Collection: This collection is open to the public for research. The property survey is available in the Williamson County Reading Room during normal business hours.
