History

Gideon Pillow, a surveyor that had moved to Maury County, left {{Convert|500|acres}} to be divided among his three sons. The Pillow-Haliday Place mansion and plantation buildings were built by master builder Nathan Vaught in 1850, for Major Granville A. Pillow (b.1805 in Columbia, TN; d.1868 in Clifton, TN), and was the second of three Pillow homes built. Vaught also built Clifton Place (1839) for Gideon Johnson Pillow, and Pillow-Bethel House (1855) for Jerome Bonaparte Pillow. The three mansions were closely designed but Pillow Place lacked the second story gallery and the portico had a low parapet at the top instead of a pediment. The mansion was built on the site of Gideon Pillow's old home.{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=326dK2aam9UC&q=Pillow-haliday+place+in+tennessee&pg=PA388 | title=Tennessee: A Guide to the State | publisher=American Book-Stratford Press | date=1939 | accessdate=September 2, 2014 | pages=338| isbn=9780403021918 }}
