River Side Farmhouse is a historic farmhouse in Shelbyville, Tennessee, U.S..
History
The land was acquired by John Shofner, a settler from North Carolina, in 1815.[2] Shofner built a loghouse, which was later demolished by his son Michael.[2] A new house was built by Michael Shofner, but it was also demolished thereafter.[2] By 1890, Michael's son, Jacob Morton Shofner, built this farmhouse.[2] Jacob's grandson, Prentice Cooper, was born in this house; he went on to serve as the 39th Governor of Tennessee from 1939 to 1945.[2] The house is still owned by the Cooper family,[2] which includes Congressman Jim Cooper and mayor of Nashville John Cooper.
Architectural significance
The house was designed in the Queen Anne architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 1, 1997.[3]
