Dozier Farm, also known as Cliffview Farm, is a historic mansion in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S..

History

The land was granted to Peter Poyner for his service in the American Revolutionary War. ^[2] It was inherited by his brother, Robert Poyner, in the 1790s. ^[2] In 1801, it was purchased by Enoch Dauge who lived here with his wife, Margaret Etheridge. ^[2] Dauge subsequently changed his name to Dozier. ^[2] He owned slaves. ^[2] He built a loghouse, which burnt down in 1840. ^[2]

The current house was built from 1840 to 1842. ^[2] When Dozier died in 1842, it was inherited by his heirs, who eventually sold it in 1932. ^[2] Five years later, in 1937, it was purchased by George Hobbs. ^[2] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. ^[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 1, 1990. ^[3]
