Circa 1800- Hood-Krahwinkle House

The Hood-Krahwinkle House was built around 1800.

Location: 7012 Neubert Springs Road, Knoxville

According to the Knoxville/Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission's "2012 South County Sector Plan,":

“Hood-Krahwinkle House (c. 1800) Neubert Springs Road- The history of this two-story, log house is still being researched, and an exact construction date is not known now. The Hood family owned the property early on, and may have purchased it directly from John Sevier. The house sits well back from the present Neubert Springs Road; it faces an abandoned dirt road, once known as the Old Stage Road. The road began in Sevier County on the French Broad River, traveled across Brown’s Mountain, let to Maryville and Tellico Blockhouse to the southwest, and eventually connecting with the seaports of Charleston and Savannah. The house is reflective of early transportation and settlement” (p. 63).

I haven't had a chance yet to go out and photograph this house. It can't be seen on Google Maps' street view, either. However, Knox Heritage has a good picture of the Hood-Krahwinkle House in its Picasa web album of antebellum homes. Click here to see it.
