Charles Edward Snodgrass began his law practice in Crossville in 1888, probably in this building. He represented Tennessee's 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 56th and 57th Congresses and served as Judge of the Court of Appeals from 1925 to 1934. His daughter Nellie married Cumberland County World War I Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Milo Lemert, who likely passed in and out of the building regularly. His son Jonas L. Snodgrass also used the building as a law office until the 1970's, and although he was no longer practicing law then, he kept the office just as it had been when his father used it. Cumberland County purchased the building in 1989, and it became the Office of the Cumberland County Veterans Service Officer in 2008.
