Wardlaw-Steele House
The Wardlaw-Steele House in Ripley, Tennessee was built in c.1842. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
It is a two-story Greek Revival wood frame building with a two-story portico having six Ionic columns. It has 14 rooms, with eight fireplaces linked to three large chimneys.
The original part of the house is supported by mortise-and-tenon-connected hand hewn square beams, and is insulated with raw cotton. The interior was renovated in Victorian style in about 1887. The eight fireplaces and mantels vary in style.
