Victorian Village ‘outcast’ makes a comeback
Construction crews raise the last pillar on the façade of the Pillow-McIntyre House, a two-story Greek Revival home in Victorian Village July 16, 2020. Built by C.G. Richardson in 1847, the house was purchased by Confederate General Gideon Pillow in 1873 and sold to Peter McIntyre, founder of the first glucose refinery in Memphis. (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian)
The restored columns of the circa 1840s Pillow-McIntyre House at Adams and Orleans were reinstalled last week, signalling at turn in fortunes for a sometimes forgotten house with some secrets.
