Own a Piece of Tennessee History - The William P. Smith Finishing School
Step back in time and experience the elegance of the William P. Smith Finishing School, originally built in 1880 to prepare young ladies for the social graces of high society.

Surrounded by the Cumberland Mountains located at 115 Morgan Street in charming Oliver Springs, Tennessee, this 4,565 sq. ft. architectural masterpiece is listed on the Oliver Springs Registry of Historic Homes, offering potential state and federal financial incentives and tax benefits for restoration projects.
