Between 1825 and 1830, Deaderick (whose family donated the land in <a href="/pages/w/106220079409935">Nashville</a> on which the Tennessee State Capitol was built) purchased 5,000 <a href="/pages/w/110558772305200">acres</a> (20 km²) of land and built a stately house there (at what is now the east side of Airways, between Carnes and Spottswood). In 1890, a developer named Elzey Eugene Meachem purchased land from the Deaderick family and began developing a subdivision for African-Americans, selling lots for less than $100. In the 1890s, a typical Orange Mound house was a small, narrow <a href="/pages/w/114198665263457">"shotgun"-style house</a>.</p>
