Historical note
The
home
of
William
Hunt
,
just
outside
of
downtown
Memphis
, was
occupied
by
both
Confederate
and
Federal
officers
during
the
war
. The
inscription
on this
photograph
indicates
that
it
was
taken
over
by the
Western
Sanitary
Commission
on
8
February
1863
for
use
as a "
soldier's
home
"
under
the
jurisdiction
of the
matron
and
superintendent
pictured
here. The
imposing
brick
mansion
is
also
thought
to have been a
Freedmen's
School
for
several
years
before
it
was
returned
to the
Hunt
family
.
