Together, these separate spaces provide seven bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, and accommodations for up to 19 guests. Built in 1847, the Childress House was once owned by Major John Childress, brother of First Lady Sarah Childress Polk, wife of President James K. Polk. Sarah Polk was known to visit the home. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property carries nearly 180 years of local history. Portions of the home were converted into apartments during the 1930s, adding another chapter to its residential story.
