305 WEST 6th ST - MAYES-FRIERSON-FUSTON HOUSE

The Mayes-Frierson-Fuston House is located at 305 W 6th Ave, Columbia, TN (35º37.002N, 87º2.340W). It was built in 1833 by Patrick Maguire as a wedding gift for his daughter Eleanore (Ellen) and her husband Roger Bradley Mayer. The bricks are the original slaves made bricks. Because they were so soft, they had to be painted sometime early last century. 

In 1880, Ellen Mayer deeded the home to her granddaughter who deeded it to her granddaughter thus it was owned by the Mayer-Frierson women until it was sold in the 1970's to the present owners. The Fuston family has done a wonderful job in preserving the home and its history.

The current owner is Kathie Hicks Fuston.
