Untitled[edit]

The article on Maxwelton may be relavent as it relates to another article in Wikipedia called "List of Registered Historic Places in Tennessee" and Maxwelton is listed under "Shelby County"/"Memphis" in that article. I thought that adding an article about the location would further enhance the previous article which was very generally stating Maxwelton's existence. This article also relates to Tennessee architecture as Maxwelton is one of the few remaining Piano Box style houses that was popular in Tennessee in the late 1800s (and the only one in Memphis, TN). Also, the various owners of Maxwelton were prominent citizens of Memphis and considered early settlers of Shelby County, Tennessee. All of the information listed in the article could be found useful to someone researching: Buntyn's Station (a historical district), Judge Sneed (a member of the Tennessee Supreme Court and a founder of St. John's Episcopal Church in Memphis), Tennessee Architecure, Historical Memphis, Memphis and Charleston Railroad, Piano Box Houses, Registered Historic Places in Tennessee and Nationally Registered Historic Places.

The information stated in the article comes directly from my knowledge of the family, the structure and the location. I am the great grandaughter of the previous owners (now deceased) and niece of the current owner. All of the information shared is common knowledge among our immediate family. I suppose I could locate and share documents to support the information I a shared should it be deemed necessary.
