The renowned Knoxville architect, George Barber, designed this house in the 1890s.
|
Over the years, the structure became a boarding house. Even the porch had been made into an apartment. |
Bob and Melynda Whetsel purchased the property and worked with High Oaks Construction Company to start over with the original architectural proportions. |
Floors, mantels and stairs were painstakingly restored. |
A derelict property was transformed as another contributing resource in the 4th and Gill Historic District. |
As you can see from the historic photograph,a bit of the past has returned to the neighborhood. |
