Rebuilding the Hubbard House
The Hubbard House is a historic building located at 1109 – 1st Ave. South, Nashville TN. The two-story structure was built in 1921 as the retirement home of Dr. George W. Hubbard, founder and head of Meharry Medical College for 44 years. During the time Dr. Hubbard occupied the house, it was the epicenter of Meharry. Included on the campus were administrative buildings, a medical school, dental school, pharmacy school, auditorium, and hospital. In 1931 Meharry Medical College relocated its entire institution to a North Nashville site. The only building left to mark the original location of Meharry is the Hubbard House. The building was officially purchased by Seay-Hubbard United Methodist Church in 1970. It was used as a parsonage. Because of its history and significance, the Hubbard House has two historical registrations with the U.S. Department of Interior. The house was placed on the National register of Historic Homes in 1974.
As of today, the Hubbard House is in poor condition. Significant work to the internal and external parts of the house must be done to restore this national treasure. We, as the Hubbard House team, are joining together not only as a church, but as a church community to solve these problems and to restore the Hubbard House to its original grandeur. We hope that you will join us in our effort to preserve a historic treasure of our nation.
Blessed Thanks,
The Hubbard House
