The Shannon House is located at 321 W. Main St. (old US70) on Lebanon, TN. The house of late Victorian Architecture was built ca. 1902 for Laban Lacy Rice who would go on to become the owner of Castle Heights School and then President of Cumberland University. He sold the home to J.L. Shannon in 1909 when a home with the same floor plan was built on the Castle Heights campus.
In 1909, Shannon started the J.L. Shannon and Sons Drug Store on Lebanon's Public Square. Shannon died in 1929, but his children operated the store into the 1960s and lived in the home until 1989. Today, the home is the office of THW Insurance.
