Dr. Richard Calvin Bromley built the Bromley House in 1909-1911 as a full service hotel for visiting tourists and others. It also served as his private residence and medical office. His wife, Ardilla (Fluty) Bromley, operated a millinery shop on the second floor. Bromley was the son of a Confederate veteran and a graduate of the University of Nashville. The house became known as Hotel Bromley because many of Dr. Bromley's friends visited frequently to hunt and fish. Located in the Flatwoods area, this structure is on the National Register of Historic Places.
