Historic Westwood

Historic Westwood will be closed the rest of this week, Thursday, May 14 and Friday, May 15 due to porch and door maintenance. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but look forward to welcoming you another time soon! ❤️

Earlier this year, Historic Westwood was awarded a $32,925 Capital Maintenance and Improvements Grant from the State of Tennessee through the Tennessee State Museum to help repair the home's front porch ceiling and decking, as well as a portion of the slate roof. ❤️

"This grant helps us to properly steward one of Knoxville’s most unique and beautiful historic properties, enabling Knox Heritage to use our other sources of funding to create more impact throughout our broader community," said Christine Cloninger, Knox Heritage's Executive Director.

Special thanks to Sean Gay of Triple C Complete Custom Construction and Pinpoint Roofing for their quality work! 👏 This project is supported in part by the Tennessee State Museum and the state of Tennessee.
