This
classic, two-story frame, Queen Anne Victorian home with its spindles
and dental trim, rounded porch with gazebo under turret roof, and
balcony with fancy scroll work, was constructed in 1898.
Fortunately, it has somehow remained a single family residence.
High ceilings, hardwood floors, and original transoms are found
throughout, and it has three solid oak fireplaces and an oak-paneled
staircase to the second floor master suite and other rooms. Many of the
replacement pieces have been painstakingly re-crafted, with emphasis on
authentic restoration. A board and batten carriage house, one of the few
to survive in Knoxville, has been restored out back and a reflection
pool adorns the well-manicured landscape to the right of the front porch
steps. This home features many elegant furnishings and decorations
including a mural on the dining room ceiling.
