History

The house was built for C. R. Boyce, a cotton broker, in 1920.[2] He died in 1930, and the house remained in the Boyce family until 1936.[2]

The house was purchased by Russell C. Gregg, the Memphis manager of the Anderson, Clayton and Company, a cotton brokering firm.[2] One of his daughters married Henry Loeb, the mayor of Memphis.[2] In 1973, the house was purchased by his son-in-law, C. Wrede Petersmeyer.[2]

Architectural significance

The house was designed by Jones & Furbringer.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 19, 1979.[3]

gollark: Or later viaducts. They're very fun. Basically people tubes.
gollark: My idea for the tunnels was that they would be maybe 5x3 and we could just pack in cables as needed, plus an electric railway.
gollark: Yes, but we can put a cell directly on its output ports (or use expensive cables to connect to one) and drain from multiple sides of that.
gollark: We don't actually need paired fluxducts, due to that quirk of their transfer rates. I think.
gollark: Anyway, we can probably just run some itemducts in the planned power cabling tunnels, so it's not too problematic.
