Built in 1827 by master builder Nathan Vaught, the original cedar log structure received additions in 1832 and 1840, including a front porch that transformed the home’s style into Greek Revival. The house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was originally located in Columbia, Tenn. Scheduled for demolition, the house was purchased and transported to Thompson Station, Tenn., in 1994. The homeowners received the preservation award from the Williamson County Heritage Foundation after a complete renovation. When the roof was replaced recently, a garage and sunroom were also added to the home.
The installer, R.D. Herbert & Sons, Nashville, Tenn., used 6,000 square feet (557 m2) of 24-gauge Una-Clad steel flat coil from Firestone Metal Products Inc., Anoka, Minn., and formed it into 17-inch (432-mm) standing-seam roof panels. The accompanying flashings match the vibrant red metal, including the chimney, wall and valley flashings. R.D. Herbert & Sons also installed 600 square feet (56 m2) of a white TPO membrane roof system over the sunroom. Metro Roofing & Metal Supply, Nashville, was the metal distributor, and Exterior Materials, Nashville, supplied the TPO.
