History

The house was built c. 1819, possibly earlier, making it "one of the oldest houses in the county."[2] Dickson was a magistrate for Perry County.[2]

In the postbellum era, the house belonged to the Ledbetter family.[2] When their daughter Minerva married Jessie Sparks, it became associated with the Sparks political family: J. Kent Sparks, their son, served in the Tennessee General Assembly.[2]

The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 28, 1985.[1]

gollark: Yes.
gollark: There is proof of stake, which replaces the mining with "staking", where you just put up some coins for a bit and randomly get assigned more based on that. But this is also bad.
gollark: If you benefit from more computation *at all*, someone will just deploy 29383728929 computers doing the more efficient thing.
gollark: It is deliberately wasteful. It can't be useful work or something something side markets (I forgot).
gollark: Yes, but then you couldn't use mining to allocate new coins and make evilness with new blocks expensive.
