About West Meade
West Meade, Nashville, TN, USA is a residential area of over 1,800 homes. Our neighboring ‘hoods are Hillwood to the north, Belle Meade to the east and Bellevue to the south. Belle Meade is renown for its high cost, luxurious homes. Bellevue is the largest neighborhood, and has its own shopping area with a skating rink. West Meade is an oasis of trees, grass and residences surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a big, growing city. West Meade was originally a farm and stables, and parts of the original rock walls that acted as land borders between neighbors still exist.
History
In 1883, Gen. William G. Harding gave his daughter, Mary, 2600 acres of his farm, Belle Meade. The same year, Mary and her husband, U. S. Senator Howell E. Jackson, bought a 131-acre farm adjoining that tract. They built this home at a cost of $14,905. During his lifetime, Howell was a U. S. Senator and a justice on both the U. S. 6th Circuit Court and the U. S. Supreme Court. The house remained in the family until 1944 when the farm was sold and subdivided.
