The Prewitt-Amis-Finney House, also known as Turnhill Farm, is a historic three-story house in Culleoka, Tennessee, U.S.. Built for the slaveholding Prewett family in 1810, it was established as a mule farm. It is located a few miles away from Columbia, and it overlooks Fountain Creek.
The house was built in 1810 by Lemuel Prewett, his wife Elizabeth and their 12 children. [2] The Prewett raised mules on their farm; they also owned African slaves. [2] After the Creek War of 1813–1814, the house was inherited by Lemuel Prewett's son Abner, and the Prewetts moved to Mississippi in the 1820s. [2]
The house was purchased by John Amis, his wife and their six children, in 1821. [2] Amis, the owner of 16 slaves, served on the county court. [2] In 1852, he died of cholera alongside his wife and his son John; the three of them were buried on the farm. [2] The house was inherited by their daughter, Elizabeth Amis Cheatham, and her husband, John Cheatham. [2]
The house was purchased by James I. Finney, Sr. in 1935. [2] He redesigned it in the Colonial Revival architectural style, and he renamed it Turnhill Farm. [2]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 1, 1997. [3]

Cedar Crest, also known as Cedar Crest Farms, is a Greek Revival plantation house located near Faunsdale, Alabama. It was built for Kimbrough Cassels Dubose in 1850 by Albert Prince, a slave. Dubose, born in Darlington District, South Carolina was educated at the preparatory school of Prof. Stafford who later was of the faculty of the University of Alabama. His wife was Miss Elizabeth Boykin Witherspoon also of Darlington District, South Carolina, and they had seven sons and four daughters: John Witherspoon, James Henry, Jr., Eugene, Nicholas William, Francis Marion, Lemuel Benton and Edwin Dargan-the daughters Louisa, Rosalie, Augusta and Adele. The house is one-and-a-half stories with side gables, but has been simplified. It originally had side wings, with adjoining porches across the front. These were removed in 1939, leaving the small central front portico. Another historic plantation house, Altwood, was moved from a nearby location to the Cedar Crest grounds in 1988. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1993 as a part of the Plantation Houses of the Alabama Canebrake and Their Associated Outbuildings Multiple Property Submission.
