Lea Springs was a historic mansion in Lea Springs, Tennessee near the city of Blaine, Tennessee. It was built by slaves in 1819 for Pryor Lea, who grew up at Richland.[2] Lea became a politician in Tennessee and Texas, and he was a founding trustee of the University of Mississippi.[2] He died in 1879, and the house was remodeled as a resort in the 1880s.[2]
The house was designed in the Federal architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 29, 1975.[1] The mansion was demolished in 2008, and the property was delisted in 2023.
