The West J. Crawford House of Memphis, Tennessee

Advertisements

The West J. Crawford House was built in 1877 on Lauderdale Street. It was once one of several Italianates on the street, but it is now the last one. Initially, it was part of a National Register of Historic Places historic district, but the area was delisted after many homes were burned. The home was relisted in 2024. A contributing carriage house can be seen to the left of the home.

The porch was added in 1905. The Crawfords moved into a new home in 1914. The house sat empty until Santina Virga Carimi purchased it in 1924. The house stayed in the family until Jennie Carami’s passing in 2010.
