It is also locally designated. Lotz House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for its architecture. It is near the Carter House and was close to the most intense areas of the battle. It is also locally designated. Collins Farm has a post-Civil War dwelling; however, the surviving cultural landscape is the location where Confederate troops came under heavy federal artillery fire from Fort Granger. The Tennessee and Alabama Railroad Freight Depot was constructed after the war. It has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register.
