Ramsey House, Federal-style residence in Knox County, Tennessee, United States.
The Ramsey House features stone walls, high chimneys, and detailed woodwork that demonstrate the architectural methods of early Tennessee construction.
Thomas Hope designed this two-story stone building in 1797, making it one of the first permanent structures in Knox County's frontier settlement.
The residence contains period furniture and household items that show how upper-class families lived in early American Tennessee settlements.
Guided tours of the house and grounds operate Wednesday through Saturday from March to December, with special events during holiday seasons.
The building combines Pennsylvania and Tennessee construction techniques through its limestone walls and pink marble window details.
