On Dec. 23, 1837, the Tennessee General Assembly granted a charter to the Harpeth Turnpike Co. to build Harpeth Pike, also known as Wilson Pike, from the Little Harpeth River Bridge to Rigg's Crossroads, a distance of 23 1/2 miles. Stockholders included James C. Owen, Noble Ladd, James H. Wilson, Reese Corzine, Jabez Owen, John Holt, and John A. Holland. Three tollgates were built between Brentwood and Arrington, leaving the southern section to Rigg's Crossroads undeveloped. In 1910 the Lewisburg & Northern Railroad began construction of a line from Brentwood to Lewisburg along Wilson Pike, requiring four underpasses. The Franklin and Nolensville Road, also known as Clovercroft Rd., was an early connection between the county seat and the eastern section of the county. The John and Temperance Hunt Herbert house, known as Breezeway, is a notable example of an early 19th century double-pen log residence with an open breezeway or dogtrot. It reflects the typical evolution of a double-pen residence into a vernacular Greek Revival design home as the owner's financial circumstances improved. Three Herbert sons, Joseph, John Green, and Richard, served in the Confederate army. Joseph and Richard became doctors, while John Green Herbert remained at home a farmer. Following the death of John G. Herbert in 1934, the farm was purchased by Dr. Walter Morgan of Nashville. Breezeway was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
