 This lot was vacant for over twenty years and was originally occupied by a George Barber house. Barber designed at least two other homes on the block, 1319 and 1316, and may have contributed architectural plans for others on this early Knoxville street. The current home was built in 2005, and fits perfectly into the surrounding Old North historic district. Homeowner Merrilee Liddiard, is a recognized children’s book illustrator and fashion designer, and her original artwork also graces the walls. The home is a mixture of old and new reflecting the owner’s appreciation of both classical and modern design, and contains new and modern appliances with historic charm. A special feature of the living room features is a salvaged Victorian mantelpiece with a modern gas-burning fireplace surrounded by antiqued tiles. The home is furnished with a mixture of vintage and modern pieces, and many original art pieces from upcoming and well known fine artists including Kirk Richards and Cassandra Barney. This is apparent in the color choice and patterns in the furniture, flooring, photographs, wall color, appliances, and bedding.
