Mt. Airy is a historic house in Cordova, Tennessee. It was built in 1835 for Asbury Crenshaw, his son Timothy, and their relatives.[2] The Crenshaws were settlers who owned slaves.[2] By 1850, it was acquired by Roscoe Feild, a Crenshaw relative who graduated from Princeton University and took part in the California Gold Rush.[2] During the American Civil War, Feild served in the Confederate States Army.[2] The house was subsequently inherited by his descendants, the Lattings.[2]
The house was designed in the Classical Revival architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 14, 2002.[1]
