Jack White's House
Nashville, TN
The Story
Detroit-born guitarist who fronted the White Stripes, then the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather. “Seven Nation Army” took the 2004 Grammy for best rock song and turned into a stadium chant.
The main house dates to 1910: 2 stories of brick under a slate roof, over a partial basement. It sits on a shade under 7 acres.
Two more dwellings share the parcel. A frame cottage went up in 1945, and a small brick building followed in 1990, both still assessed on the same record card.
The road out front was the last toll road in Tennessee. Drivers paid to use the Nashville to Franklin Turnpike, now State Route 6, until it went free in 1926.
A trust took title here in December 2005 and still holds it. The assessor has recorded no sale on the parcel in the 20 years since.
His recording studio sits at the end of a row of outbuildings, past the tennis court. A white elk that once belonged to Johnny Cash hangs inside, under a disco ball.
Third Man Records, his label and store south of downtown, doubles as a venue. Every show in its Blue Room gets recorded, and many come out as live albums.
