White Hall is a historic mansion in Spring Hill, Tennessee, USA. History The two-story mansion was completed in 1844. It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. It was built for Dr. Aaron C. White, a physician and planter, by his brother Henry White. Dr. White's father was General William C. White who was once in a duel with Sam Houston.

Supporting arguments include the fact that Peter's was able to flee unimpeded and gates through fields were left open beforehand. Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the Batt ...
