Built in 1858 on property Albert Lotz purchased from Fountain B. Carter, the Lotz House was the home of German immigrant Albert Lotz, a master carpenter and piano maker. Before the Battle of Franklin on November 30, 1864, the Lotz family took refuge across the street in the Carter House. When Confederate forces broke through Union defenses on Columbia Pike, they were stopped by Union Col. Emerson Opdyke’s brigade on both sides of the pike north of the Lotz House.
