From the publication "The Future ofKnoxville’s Past- Historic and ArchitecturalResources in Knoxville, Tennessee-Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission,October 2006," prepared by the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission:

“Knott-York House, 4810 Middlebrook Pike (c. 1845). This Federal-style two-story brick home shows the importance of Middlebrook Pike as an early transportation artery. The house was apparently built by Andrew Knott, who moved to Knox County from eastern Virginia in the early 1840s. After several generations lived in the house, it was deeded to Laura Ann Knott in 1902, who married Joseph R. York. While the family names associated with the house have changed, it remained in successive related generations for over 125 years, and illustrates early architecture and agricultural growth” (p. 19).
