Historic Old North Knoxville Homes for Sale

The Margaret F. Stuart House
115 E. Scott Avenue

Built in 1891 for Margaret F. Stuart, this George F. Barber House was one of the first four Houses built on Scott Avenue. Although it had been neglected for a long period of time, restoration is currently in process, and we expect to complete the project in the Spring of 2006. The house was located at 118 W. Scott, and was moved to 115 E. Scott on January 13, 2006. You are invited to come and witness this unique Victorian house slowly make its journey across Central Avenue to its new home with old growth oak trees and Smoky Mountain views.
