Belmont Mansion

In the heart of Belmont University lies the crown jewel of the campus (and its namesake). The elaborate Italianate-style villa that housed Adelicia Hayes Franklin Acklen Cheatham (who has no shortage of Nashville street etymology dedicated to her) boasts an unimaginable 19,000 square feet of ornately decorated interior. Today, the mansion is one of Middle Tennessee's most prestigious architectural specimens from the antebellum era in the South. The mansion is also the perfect setting for private parties such as weddings, receptions and dinners.
