Historic Knoxville

With the house now having its own official page, this page will no longer interact or promote the foundation or their progress.

This page will now be for historic and notable Knoxville.

I thought this would get a few peoples attention. I came upon this by accident earlier. I've actually been there, talked to the caretaker, and spoke with the owner a few times. He has good reasons to not let anyone on his property and the main one is someone who use to be within the Knoxville/Knox Co government. My advice would be look from a distance, and you'd be more likely to get in the Williams Estate than on this property. Respect their privacy please.

Tooles Bend Farm Sown with History

Knoxville, Tennessee lets us down once again.

Knoxville faces no-Boomsday Labor Day weekend This Labor Day weekend will be the first in nearly three decades without Knoxville's Boomsday.

Okay, maybe someone on here can help me. I don't know why I hadn't thought to ask this on here before now. I grew up between the old and new Westmorelands. When I was younger and finally able to drive around wherever, I would do just that. With the love of history and architecture there were plenty of places to go exploring. I've alway been curious like that, I guess. One day I decided to check out a road I had passed hundreds of times without a thought about it. It was Currier Ln, off of Northshore Dr. in Rocky Hill. I did a little research on this years ago but never really dug into it. Mostly because there's such a lack of information on this property. It was, I believe, the Currier School building. I thought about it the other day and then just now thought to ask on here if anyone knows anything about it. It's on Currier Ln., and I have a name of an owner. I think it's odd though the info for the property has it listed as "The Wonder Home". It's a large multi-story wooden structure, that seems to be just hiding. Most people that have lived around the area have no idea it's even there. If anyone knows anything on this property please let me know. Thanks. Also I just happened find this picture online. Not sure who took it or when but it does show some of the structure.

I came across this and put it on my personal page but thought someone here might like it also. It made me laugh a little. I always have to remind myself, not everyone grows up with an "insane asylum" or mental hospital in the neighborhood just down the street.

I stayed at the same hotel I used for my early season Rev3 race, so I thought I might slide down to the river and run the course for ol…
