History

The house was constructed by an unknown builder in 1891 for Aaron Caldwell, a Russian Jewish immigrant who ran a clothing store in Tiptonville. According to its NRHP nomination, "Its steeply pitched roof, asymmetrical facade, two story bay, and distinctive porch make Caldwell-Hopson House a prime example of a Queen Anne-influenced residence in this small farming community. It is one of the few remaining houses of historic value in the county and is an excellent example of craftsmanship, construction, and design."
