The Bryant Building property has played a major role in Lebanon’s history.  It is part of the old Cumberland University campus which in 1844, consisted of ten acres on the southern edge of town on the corner of now S. College Street and East Spring.  In 1847, the campus was enlarged by 7 ½ acres. The Civil War brought the destruction of this university building and the school relocated to its present-day site. After a time, the former campus was divided into lots and sold.  This site is Lot #1 of the subdivided campus and by 1897 a house was standing here.

In February 1965, Dr. Joe Frank Bryant bought the property and in 1966 constructed a medical office and pharmacy for his family practice which operated until 2011.  Also on this site was Bryant Broadcasting, INC, call letters WJFB.  The station ran from 1988 until 2015. Dr. Bryant was a noted surgeon, a TN Broadcaster and real estate investor.  His influence and contributions to Lebanon are still recognized today.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Thank you so much for taking care of my sister and being her attorney. I am a firm believer that you were God’s choice for such a time as this…as Ester said when she was Queen. My sister is a very complicated person, and you were the right choice. I feel sure we will talk in the future because you are a friend now. I pray that the hand of God will guide your footsteps wherever you go and whatever you do.

    Wilson County, Conservatorship

  • Lisa Tomlinson helped me get my life back! In 2019, I checked myself into treatment for alcohol and drug abuse. I had lost custody of my son, and any other attorney would have probably dropped me; but Lisa stood beside me through the toughest time of my life. She and her team gave me guidance, support, advice, and most of all love when I could not love myself. She advised me that the battle ahead would be hard, but if I just followed her suggestions she would stick beside me.

  • She made herself and her staff available for advisement during the custody battle, executed court dates, mediation, discovery after discovery, and thanks to her help, I was able to get custody of my son back! Tomlinson Law is the best! She truly cares about clients to a level I have never seen with any attorney. She puts her whole heart and soul into her cases and clients. I don't know where I would be without her legal counsel. Lisa Tomlinson is the way to go hands down!
