Folks at Home

FOLKS AT HOME is a local non-profit organization developed for and dedicated to assisting its members in continuing a dignified and comfortable lifestyle in the community through coordination of a multitude of services they need during their elder years. 

A 19th century residence/shop and the 20th century Baker's Cafe on this lease had been torn down in 1968.  John Stephens built the brick building on its site and leased it to Gardner Tate Realty Company from 1984-1991.  (See SEWANEE REALTY)

From 1991 until 2011 John and R. Majil Stephens and their son practiced law here along with renting out space to an accounting office.  The Bank of Tullahoma owned the building a short time in 2011 but later sold it to Folks at Home in 2015 where they have offices in half of the building and they also rent out space to various small businesses.
