The William B. Jordan Farm is a historic farmhouse in Eagleville, Tennessee, U.S..
The farmhouse was built for William B. Jordan, a farmer who owned slaves, from 1847 to 1850.[2] It was designed as an I-house in the Italianate and Greek Revival architectural styles.[2] Moreover, "according to local folklore", the portico was designed by "traveling Italian craftsmen."[3] However, Tennessee State Historian Carroll Van West believes there is no evidence this was the case.[3]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 13, 1992.[4]
