There’s a new addition to Donelson Road—we finally have a sign! And you know us...we had to have something with a story behind it! 😂 Our welder friend Dale, who is doing several projects for us around Orion Hill, previously worked for the city of Memphis for 30 years before retiring. The light pole the sign is attached to stood on Main St. in downtown Memphis for many many years but was replaced by newer ones several years ago. Before Dale retired he grabbed a few of these and we’re so glad he offered us his last one! We brought it back to life and we think she’ll enjoy retirement in the country 😍 And of course thank you to our logo designer @candaceljoseph. This makes everything seem real! We need you to come take a picture with it 🤗 Thank you as well to Ferocious Graphics here in Arlington for printing + attaching it for us. You rock! And another special shoutout to Sean Hartman for painting it and bringing her back to life!
While we do have our first wedding coming up...it technically won’t be the first to take place at Orion Hill! 153 years ago TODAY (May 4th, 1866), Helen Donelson married William Love McLean at Orion Hill. Helen was the daughter of the original owners of Orion Hill, Alexander and Kate, and spent most of her younger life living here. I guess she loved her childhood home so much she wanted to get married here 🤗 After their wedding, they settled at a home near present-day McLean Blvd. in midtown Memphis named Belleair Woods. We always say, “If only these trees could talk!” and today is definitely one of those days! We wonder how many people were there, what did her dress look like, the flowers, the cake? So many things we wish these trees could tell us! 🌲🌲🌲 Since we don’t have any pictures from that day, here’s one of our favorites from Alex + Mckenzies engagement pictures a few weeks ago. We can’t WAIT for their wedding here in October! ❤️

As we prepare for the dedication of our Shelby County historical marker, we want to start sharing some of our unique history with you guys. Starting with the driveway and the massive cedar trees that line it. The first owner of the property was Alexander Donelson and he planted these trees going down the driveway to look similar to his uncles house in Nashville—President Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage. These trees were planted sometime between 1830-1844 making them around 185 years old. If only these trees could talk! The 2nd picture is what the driveway looked like in 1990 before construction of the current home started. If you remember from one of our previous posts, these trees are now historically protected by the state of Tennessee. We hope this new wave of Orion Hill’s history will get to enjoy them for many years to come!
Before and after 🤩 We can’t wait to see the magic photographers + videographers capture here!
Not the prettiest of pictures on your feed but we want to keep everyone updated as we move along! First picture is what the back of the house looks like as of today. 2nd picture is what is will look like in the coming months (plus the window wall that wasn’t added yet when this rendering was made). 3rd picture is what it will look like from the inside and the 4th picture is what it looked like before they started the demolition (don’t worry, we transplanted those mature crepe myrtles to the front of the property) 💚 After so many months of planning, meetings with engineers/architects, code enforcement, permits, etc...it’s crazy to finally see crews here on a daily basis! The past few weeks have obviously been a lot of demo but it’s also been a lot of stuff you can’t see as much like the massive floor supports that were added under the existing home that will tie into the new reception hall. Get ready guys! A lot is about to start changing over here 😍 #orionhillconstruction
