John Bridgman's House - Pikeville, TN

John Bridgman's House - Pikeville, TN

I have no idea about the signficance of this place, other than the fact it's old and it's on the National Register of Historic Places. Googling this, John Bridgman may have named Pikeville. This brick house is probably more than 150 yrs. old.
