Belle Air is a very visible historic and civic landmark in Nashville. Most pre-civil war Mansions are far out of town. Belle Air is about 4 miles from the Nashville Airport and 5 miles from downtown along Lebanon Pike. It is 3.5 miles from the Opryland Resort. It is unique in that it is almost 6 acres and can be a retreat in the middle of the city. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and modeled after Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, which is close by.

Belle Air is significant because of its architecture style as a Greek Revival Mansion built in 1832. Representative of the great houses of the well-to-do Southern landowners in the first half of the nineteenth century, it remains as an example of these houses which once were abundant but have now mostly disappeared from the scene. It was important that Belle Air be preserved for the benefit of those who might not otherwise be able to come in contact with such an example of architecture of the Old South. Many families prominent in the social and economic development of Nashville have either lived in or been entertained at Belle Air.
