Notes
  • Significance: Constructed in 1847, by attorney R.K. Turnage, this Greek Revival brick town house with its elegant Greek Doric portico was the last surviving private structure in downtown Memphis. In the 1850s it was purchased by the Young sisters who operated it as a girls' boarding school. It had been in continuous occupation by descendants of the Youngs.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-56
  • Survey number: HABS TN-172
