Cox House is a building in Franklin, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is also known as the Harpeth Academy building.[1]

It was built in 1891 for Congressman Nicholas Nichol Cox. It was extended in 1972 and again in 1975. It was designed by architects Woods & Crabb. It includes Late Victorian architecture. The listing was for an area of 5.8 acres (2.3 ha) with just one contributing building.[1][2]

It was purchased in 1969 by the Harpeth Academy, a private elementary school that itself is a historic institution, to be used as an administration building.[2] It is now part of Battle Ground Academy.
