The
Captain's Castle, also known as the Rogers-McCasland home,
was so named by Captain Thomas J. Rogers, a Confederate
officer and local pioneer banker. In the early
1870's, he combined two older houses, one already located
on the present site ( the back part of the existing
structure) and the other an imposing landmark of Tennessee
Planters Architecture (the two story front portion).
He moved the latter across town on log rollers pulled by
oxen from down on the river front.
The moved
portion, built in the 1850's, is said to have been one of the
town's most elaborate bawdy houses during its riverboat heydays.
This
colorful old home is furnished with many antiques of the period and
earlier.
The dining room features a
large table
with an 1820's Baccarat crystal chandelier.
The family room has a wonderful sitting area filled with family
antiques, original artwork and family portraits dating back to the
18th
Century.
