708 E. Scott Avenue

 

This c. 1915 Craftsman style house is one of the few in Knoxville with a very strong Oriental influence. Sled runner shaped brackets support the overhanging front porch, while wood lintels above the windows and front entry echo the curvilinear roof brackets. Elaborate front windows with curved upper sashes extend the Oriental theme. The Craftsman details of the house include the small paned upper portion of the front entry sidelights, the bay window on the south elevation, and the heavy front porch columns and brick buttresses that mark the entry to the front porch. 708 E. Scott has recently been renovated and is for sale.
