Notes
  • Significance: The building complex was originally constructed for the Tennessee School for the Deaf and was occupied by TSD until 1924 when the City of Knoxville purchased the complex for office use. One other major historical use occurred during the Civil War when the buildings were used as a hospital by both the Confederate and Union Armies. As an architectural complex, the initial building group is one of the few surviving major Greek Revival structures in East Tennessee and the only one in Knoxville. It is an excellent example of Provincial Greek Revival style to which has been added a variety of excellent late 19th Century building units, all carefully organized to create a strong visual harmony in terms of style, planning, massing, material and arrangement. Equally important is the siting of this complex high on a green, wooded knoll, an idyllic site well-suited to the philosophical implications of the Greek Revival Style.
