History

The building was built on a mansion designed in the Greek Revival architectural style for John F. Erwin and his wife Lavinia Robertson Erwin.[2][2] By 1903, three more houses were joined together to become home to the first Roman Catholic school in the state of Tennessee.[2] It is now home to the convent for the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia.[2]

The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 12, 1976.[3]

gollark: Oh, this version has no getTransferLocations, worrying.
gollark: Correction: this is nontrivial due to the bad mapping between device names and transfer locations.
