1818- Craighead-Jackson House

The Craighead-Jackson House was built in 1818.

Location: 1000 State Street, downtown Knoxville

The National Register of Historic Places has a brief description of the house and its history on its website:

"John Craighead built the house in 1818. The Craighead family owned the property until 1855, when it briefly changed ownership once prior to being purchased by Dr. George Jackson whose family lived in the house until the late 1870s. From this time until the 1950s, the house had many owners. It was both deteriorated and altered by 1957 when the Blount Mansion Association interested the State of Tennessee and the City of Knoxville in acquiring the property for restoration. The Association was given title to the house on August 28, 1962, and in April, 1966, it was opened as a museum house."
