 This one and one-half story Craftsman style house was built c. 1920. A side gable roof with telescoping lower gables is highlighted by knee braces, exposed rafter tails and a shed roofed dormer. A square, shed roofed bay on the west elevation and the wrap around section of the front porch flank an exposed brick chimney, and highlight the Craftsman design. Windows are a typical Craftsman pattern of three lights in a top sash over a one light bottom sash. The weather board porch rail system with large square posts is typical of the Old North houses constructed in this era, but unusual for Knoxville generally. The house at 205 Leonard Place has just been rehabilitated by the owner. For several decades, until the present renovation, the house was divided into several apartments, and an enclosure of the front porch hid much of its unique architecture. Interior details were also altered to accommodate the multiple uses, but have now been beautifully restored.
