James Park House
JAMES PARK HOUSE
The foundation for this house was laid by
Governor John Sevier on a block bought from
Knoxville fonder James White in 1979. James
Park, pioneer merchant and Knoxville's second
Mayor, completed the main house in 1812. His
son, Dr. James Park occupied the house until
1912. It subsequently housed a War Work Shop and
tearoom for the Red Cross, the Reaves-
Leach infirmary, and the Knoxville Academy
of Medicine. The Gulf & Ohio Railways
renovated the house in 2006.
