The Mabry Hazen House in Knoxville, TN has only had several generations, but only two familes to live within its' walls since it was built just before the Civil War in 1858.
This home turned museum is not unlike many antebellum mansions that served as headquarters for both Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War.

Don't miss a visit to Mabry Hazen...
