Started in 1920 and finished in the early 1930s, Three Terraces was built for Ellen Stokes More “Miss Ellen” Wemyss (1895-2001). It stands on Lombardy St. on part of the former Walter Stokes’ Breezemont Farm, her father.
At some point after starting to build Three Terraces, Miss Ellen met and married William Hatch “Will” Wemyss (1879-1973). They chose to renovate Fairvue in Sumner Co. She enjoyed her time there and remained until her death. Her first husband was Elijah Livingfield More. Her brothers were Thomas Ormsby Stokes and Walter Stokes. Her son was Livingfield D. More and was an owner of Locust Valley. She had a colorful and eventful life. She was an early Nashville suffragette (marched in the Nashville Suffragette Parade of 1918), traveled extensively and was involved in Nashville’s first auto wreck with companion Percy Warner.
A founding member of The Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities, she was instrumental in preserving Middle Tennessee historical homes including Cragfont, Travellers Rest, the Hermitage, Wynnewood, the Bowen-Campbell House, Rock Castle, Rose Mont, and the Trousdale Home. “Miss Ellen” was also very involved in philanthropy with a focus in Sumner County.
In 2012, the owners of Three Terraces were Franklin and Victoria Hallman Traver. Franklin owns Deep South Computer Marketing. Victoria is a singer/ author who is involved with Deep South Computer and blogging about entertainment. See also Breezemont, Fairvue, Locust Valley
