Knollwood, Greek Revival residence on Bearden Hill, Tennessee, US.

Knollwood showcases white columns and symmetrical windows across its facade, standing at the highest point of Bearden Hill in Knoxville.

Built in 1851 by Robert Reynolds, the residence served as headquarters for Confederate General James Longstreet during the siege of Knoxville in 1863.

The property represents the architectural evolution of Knoxville's antebellum mansions, combining Federal style with later Neoclassical modifications.

Currently functioning as the headquarters for Schaad Companies, the building maintains its historical features while accommodating modern office requirements.

The house renovation earned two awards for successfully integrating original elements like staircases and plaster walls with contemporary business needs.

Location: Tennessee
