1834- McNutt-Campbell-Kennedy House

The McNutt-Campbell-Kennedy House was built in 1834.

Location: near 6546 Thorngrove Pike, Knoxville

In September 2003, the Knoxville Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission published "The French Broad River Corridor Study." On page 28 of this report, it says:

The land on which the McNutt-Campbell-Kennedy house stands is reputed to be James White’s first settlement in the county. The existing Federal-style house was probably built by John McNutt in a typical construction practice of the era: a two-story, heavy timber frame with nogging (brick) infill. James Campbell owned the house from 1834 to 1865 when he sold it to James Kennedy. Kennedy operated the Riverdale Mill and also founded the Seceder or New Salem Church which has since been demolished. A nearby stone foundation may be associated with White’s early residence.
