Draughon's College located in the building on the right.


In 1879 Professor John F. Draughon realized a need to train people for the business world.  His first venture was Draughon's Practical Business College on wheels, which consisted of his horse, a wagon, and teaching materials.  He traveled  monthly through Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky.  His first permanent school was opened in Nashville, Tennessee, starting one of the largest chains of business colleges in the nation, in every southern and western state.
