The Enoch H. Jones House, also known as the Harvey House, is a historic house in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, U.S.. It was built as a log cabin in 1796 for Ezra Jones, his wife Margaret Hunt and their six children.[2] Their son Enoch served in the War of 1812 and married Eunice Macklin, with whom he had six children.[2] He owned 14 slaves by 1840, and he was active in the Whig Party.[2] By 1850, he redesigned the cabin as an I-house with a portico in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 25, 1995.[3]
