Crescent Bend, Historical federal-style house in Knoxville, United States
The Crescent Bend residence stands along Kingston Pike, featuring traditional brick architecture and formal gardens that descend toward the Tennessee River.
Built in 1834 by Drury Paine Armstrong for $5,517, the house served as headquarters for Confederate General Joseph B. Kershaw during the Siege of Knoxville.
The interior displays extensive collections of 18th-century English and American furniture, decorative arts, and silver pieces dating from 1640 to 1820.
Located at 2728 Kingston Pike, the museum opens from 10 AM to 4 PM on Fridays and 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturdays, with adult admission at $7.
Nine Italian-style garden terraces with five fountains cascade down the property, marking the natural curve of the Tennessee River that named the estate.
