Murphy Hotel aka Neely House - Jackson TN
Located on S. Royal St. just outside downtown Jackson. This former hotel was once used to house many people travel in and out of Jackson on the railroad, which is right beside it.

The Murphy Hotel, a 1911 railroad hotel, located at 575 South Royal was purchased by the City of Jackson and receives funding from the National Park Service, the Department of the Interior and the Tennessee Historical Committee. It is being renovated by a non-profit 501(c) 3 board which resulted from the ideas and efforts of Leadership Jackson. The site is across from the N.C.& St.L. Depot and Railroad Museum and is in the process of being transformed into The Children's Museum of West Tennessee. The museum will be for children of all ages with emphasis on the hands on approach with younger children.

It has since been renovated into many shops of various types.
