In 1883, Gen. William G. Harding gave his daughter, Mary, 2600 acres of his farm, Belle Meade. The same year, Mary and her husband, U. S. Senator Howell E. Jackson, bought a 131-acre farm adjoining that tract. They built the West Meade Mansion at a cost of $14,905. The house remained in the family until 1944 when the farm was sold and subdivided.
