When listed, the property included four contributing buildings, one contributing site, and two non-contributing structures, on an area of 8 acres (3.2 ha).Like the John Motheral House and the William Leaton House (also NRHP-listed in Williamson County), the house was built as a single story log pen building, and was later enlarged to achieve an "imposing" two story frame construction.The house was expanded and covered with weatherboard in c.1840. A second story porch with square columns was added then. A first-floor one-story porch with square Doric-capital posts was added in 1928. The interior includes a c.1840 stairway with a square newel post and square balusters, and fireplace mantles having simple Greek Revival design with Doric motif pilasters.Contributing outbuildings include a log kitchen (c.1840) and a log smokehouse (c.1840), both with half dovetail notching, and a slave house (c.1840) later used as a milk house.Sherwood Green was a surveyor who was paid in land for his services. Green came to own more than 1,000 acres (400 ha) in the area.

John M. Winstead Houses
John M. Winstead Houses

The John M. Winstead Houses, also known as Pleasant Hill, are three antebellum houses in Brentwood, Tennessee that were together listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.A 1988 study of Williamson County historic resources lists two buildings, each named John Winstead House, that are designated as county historic resources WM-107 and WM-108.: 21 : 41  The house designated WM-108 comprises two log structures. The first was built as a single log pen home around 1800 by John Winstead, Sr., who was one of the first white settlers in the Williamson County area, having arrived in 1799. Around 1820, by which time Winstead had extensive land holdings and owned 10 slaves, he built a second single pen log cabin, oriented diagonally to the first cabin. Winstead, Sr., died in 1822, and his family continued to live on the property. Around 1870 the two cabins were connected by a framed-in structure. Similar construction is found in the Lamb-Stephens House and the Abram Glenn House.: 18 The house designated WM-107, now known as Pleasant Hill Mansion, was built near the cabins by John M. Winstead, Jr., who by then owned about 450 acres (180 ha) of farmland. It is a two-story brick central passage I-frame home that was started in 1855 and took three years to complete. It has a central-bay entrance with Greek Revival detailing, including a two-story portico with square columns topped by capitals with Doric motifs.: 21 : 41  John Winstead, Jr., lived in this home until his death in 1896, after which ownership of the home passed to a related family named Edmondson. The house is now used as the clubhouse of the Governors Club golf course. It is similar in design to the James J. Sayers House (deemed National Register-eligible but not listed due to owner objection), and the National Register-listed John Seward House, Newton Jordan House, and Thomas Holt House.: 21 : 41 When listed on the National Register, the property included three contributing buildings and three other contributing structures on an area of 10.5 acres (4.2 ha).
