James Lee House (690 Adams Avenue, Memphis)
The James Lee House, also known as the Harsson-Goyer-Lee House, is a historic house at 690 Adams Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, together with the adjacent Woodruff-Fontaine House. The two houses also are included in the Victorian Village historic district.
The 8,100-square-foot home was constructed by William Harsson in 1848.〔Sara Patterson (James Lee House ) April 2011 Abandoned Memphis The Commercial Appeal〕〔(Photo of James Lee House (Flikr) )〕 Harsson's daughter, Laura, married Charles Wesley Goyer, who bought the house in 1852. Goyer had it expanded by the architecture firm of Edward Culliatt Jones and Matthias H. Baldwin in 1871, after seeing their work in designing the neighboring Woodruff-Fontaine House.
James Lee, a riverboat captain who had been educated at Princeton University, bought the house in 1890. In 1925 it became the James Lee Memorial Art Academy,〔 a predecessor of the Memphis Academy of Art.〔(Abandoned Memphis James Lee House photo gallery ) ''The Commercial Appeal''〕 The city of Memphis took ownership in 1929. After the art school moved to a new location in 1959, the house was vacant for many years. It was used by Canadian indie rock group Tokyo Police Club in a music video for their 2008 song "In a Cave."
In 2012, the empty house was purchased by new private owners.〔http://www.memphisflyer.com/NewsBlog/archives/2014/04/18/james-lee-house-is-open-for-business〕 The following year, a $2 million construction and renovation project began, converting the house into a luxury bed and breakfast.〔 The city of Memphis provided a property tax abatement to encourage its renovation.〔 The bed and breakfast opened for business in April 2014.〔
