The James P. Johnson House is a building and property in Thompsons Station, Tennessee, dating from 1854. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988. It has also been known as Laurel Hill.[1] It includes Greek Revival and Central passage plan and other architecture.[1]
The house is notable for its association with the Laurel Hill Stock Farm, a livestock farm founded in the 1830s by Thomas Johnson, which was later inherited by his son, James P. Johnson, in 1853. During the 1850s the farm was expanded to over 500 acres and is listed as one of the most successful farms in the county in the 1886 Goodspeed History.[2]
