Lardner Clark came from Philadelphia in the early 1780’s with ten horses packed with piece goods, needles and pins. He established Nashville’s first dry goods store by 1786, on a site 30 yards east. The building which served as store, tavern and dwelling, faced south and was known as “the house with the piazza.”
1786 date incorrect. Should have been 1783, per
documentation on file.
