Church House / Barrow House architect
Hi, i noticed you edited at Church House (Columbia, Tennessee), and there is mention there that a newspaper states the architect was a Mr. Williamson from Nashville. That house was built in 1873.

I just searched the National Register Information System database and found two NRHP-listed places that might be designed by the same person: The NRHP document for the latter gives info on other houses designed by the firm, e.g. "In 1871, Dobson and Williamson were the architects who designed the residence of Judge John Lea at the corner of Vine and Union." And it clarifies that P.J. Williamson was one of the partners. By the location and dates, it looks to me reasonable to assume that the Church House was designed by Peter J. Williamson. Oh, say, I thought that would be a redlink, but there is in fact an article already about Peter J. Williamson, and the article already mentions "Church House" as being one of his works!
 * Gymnasium, Vanderbilt University, West End and 23rd Aves. Nashville, TN with "Williamson,Peter J."
 * Mount Olivet Cemetery, 1101 Lebanon Pike Nashville, TN with "Dobson & Williamson".

I see that Dobson & Williamson is currently a redlink, should perhaps be covered in the P.J. Williamson article and should be redirected. Hmm.
