Rose Glen was an antebellum plantation in Sevier County, in the U.S. state of Tennessee. At its height, Rose Glen was one of the largest and most lucrative farms in Sevier County and one of the most productive in East Tennessee. While the farm is no longer operational, the plantation house and several outbuildings— including a physician's office, loom house, and double-cantilever barn— have survived intact, and have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.Rose Glen was established in the late 1840s by Dr. Robert Hatton Hodsden (1806–1864), a Sevier County physician and politician who by 1860 had become one of the county's wealthiest individuals. Hodsden was an attending physician for the Cherokee Removal (commonly called the Trail of Tears) in the late 1830s, and between 1841 and 1845, he represented Blount County in the Tennessee state legislature. Although he was a slave owner, Hodsden was staunchly pro-Union during the American Civil War, and was a member of the Sevier County delegation at the East Tennessee Convention in Greeneville in 1861. Rose Glen is still owned and maintained by Hodsden's descendants.

Waters House (Sevierville, Tennessee)

The Waters House, at 217 Cedar St. in Sevierville, Tennessee, was built around 1895. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It was originally the house of Dr. A.W. Trotter, a dentist. Its NRHP nomination describes:The home is a three story clapboard structure which is highlighted by the decor of craftsman, Louis Buckner, a nineteenth century black carpenter of exceptional skill. Gables abound on the home at various levels; three are formed on each side of the house to terminate the bay windows at the roof. "Butterfly wings" drape the sides of the bay windows at the second floor; the wings are the work of Buckner. The porch is trimmed with "Dumbbell" dowels and gingerbread trim; it is rounded at the corner toward the rear of the home. The yard is nicely landscaped and outlined by an iron fence in front.The interior brings the home alive. The woodwork of Buckner is found in almost every room. The local carpenter had a unique style which included simple geometric designs and carvings of floral patterns. The majority of his work was done in oak and other hardwoods. In the parlor is an elaborately carved aantel, the most attractive piece of his work in the house. The mantel is about eight feet high of carved oak. Buckner placed a tilting beveled mirror above the fireplace which is outlined in tile and covered by a brass grate. Another mantel of lesser proportion but similar pattern is found in the sitting room. Various pieces of Buckner's furniture are also to be found in the home.
