The land surrounding the Holt House property is currently being transformed into the new Witherspoon residential development in Brentwood, Tennessee. However, before this 260+ acres saw its first bulldozer, the land existed as a wild pasture for a few lucky donkeys and horses. An old barn used to stable these animals had been built a few hundred feet from Holt House and housed four-legged tenants right up until the property was sold.
The new owners have since dismantled the remains of the barn (while salvaging as many materials as possible) and replaced it with a new carriage house-like structure that pays homage to the battered stable and refreshes the identity of the historic property as a homestead for the owner's family.
