There is currently a proposal that will destroy this important part of Knoxville's history and future for a new Walmart. This historic Knoxville home, constructed circa 1910, is currenly in an estate which requires the residence to be sold. The home is a North Knoxville icon and is one of the finest examples of Craftsman style architecture still standing in Knox County. It has a rich history and has received Knox Heritage awards for the quality of maintenance and care by its previous owners, Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Howard.
The property includes 2.4 acres with gardens, a gazebo, and lit tennis courts. The home was designed by University of Tennessee graduate Charles Hayes for his brother, building contractor Lynn Hayes. It is in pristine condition and eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
The funding raised by Knox Heritage will allow us to purchase this property and save it from the wrecking ball. All contributions, no matter how large or small, will make a difference and are tax-deductible.
The funds will be used to purchase the house and protect it forever with a permanent preservation easement and local historic overlay zoning. Knox Heritage will then sell the house to new owners dedicated and required to maintain and protect it. Any proceeds from the sale will become a part of our permanent Endagered Properties Fund and will be used to save other threatened properties like this in our community. So, a gift to the Howard House will be a gift that keeps on giving for years to come.
We already have a $100,000 challenge gift from an anonymous donor, so help us meet the challenge of saving this house and countless others.
Please donate today and share this campaign with your friends on social media!
