Several sources cite 1914 as the construction date but the original owners are unknown. The four acre Tudor Revival house was owned by Dr. William David Haggard, Jr. (1872-1940) and Mary Laura Champe Haggard (1870-1920) in 1936. Dr. Haggard was a founder of the Southern Surgical Association and its first president. In 1912, he became Professor of Surgery and Clinical Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical School - a role in which he remained until his death. He also was a surgeon and first president of staff at St. Thomas Hospital. From 1925-26, he was the 78th president of the American Medical Association. His second wife was Lucile Holman Haggard.
