Sudley Place is a historic Italianate mansion in Robertson County, Tennessee, built in 1856 for Samuel Bowling Brown, a whiskey distiller. The house later came into the possession of the Fuqua family during the 1930s and is notable for having been the childhood home of Jesse H. Jones, who served as the 9th United States Secretary of Commerce from 1940 to 1945. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 11, 1974, the mansion exemplifies the Italianate architectural style characteristic of its mid-nineteenth-century period.
