The James Dickson House, also known as the Sparks House, is a historic house in Linden, Tennessee, U.S..

History

The house was built in 1819, making it "one of the oldest houses in the county."[2] Dickson was a magistrate for Perry County.[2]

In the postbellum era, the house belonged to the Ledbetter family.[2] When their daughter Minerva married Jessie Sparks, it became associated with the Sparks political family: J. Kent Sparks, their son, served in the Tennessee General Assembly.[2]
