James Park House, Historic residence in downtown Knoxville, United States.
The James Park House stands as a two-story brick Federal structure with an L-shaped design and restored Victorian front porch at Cumberland Avenue.
Built in 1812 by merchant James Park on a foundation laid by Governor John Sevier, this residence remained in the Park family for one hundred years.
The house displays architectural elements from different periods, including Federal-style brick work, a reconstructed stairwell with Sunburst pattern, and period-appropriate interior features.
The building functions as headquarters for Gulf and Ohio Railways while maintaining its status as the second-oldest structure in downtown Knoxville.
Historical maps of Knoxville were painted onto the cement floors of the modern addition, connecting the building to its geographical heritage.
