Buckingham House, Historic building in Sevier County, United States.

Buckingham House is a brick house built in 1796 near Sevierville, Tennessee, overlooking the French Broad River. Thomas Buckingham and his brother Ephriam built it in the Federal architectural style, and by 1890 an ell with two rooms and a porch had been added. It is the oldest house in Sevier County.

Thomas Buckingham, the first sheriff of Sevier County, and his brother Ephriam built the house in 1796 on land Buckingham had bought from John Sevier, after Cherokee inhabitants were forced off it between 1776 and 1785. An ell with two rooms and a porch was added by 1890, and the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 1971.

The house takes its name from Thomas Buckingham, the first sheriff of Sevier County, who built it in 1796 with his brother Ephriam. The land had belonged to Cherokee people until settlers led by John Sevier forced them off between 1776 and 1785, and Buckingham bought it from Sevier before building.

The property is located in Sevier County and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, meaning information about it is publicly available. Visitors interested in learning more can consult online databases or contact local historical organizations for access details.
