Alexander Bishop House, Historic residence in Powell, Knox County, Tennessee.
The Alexander Bishop House features late eighteenth-century architecture with broad floorboards, stone foundation fireplaces, and original full dovetail joints throughout the structure.
Stockley Donelson, brother of Rachel Jackson, constructed this double-pen long house in 1793, making it one of the oldest residences in Knox County.
The structure showcases residential construction methods from Tennessee's frontier period, with elements including boxed stairs and multiple fireplaces for essential daily functions.
The National Register of Historic Places designation ensures the preservation of the building's architectural elements through specific maintenance and restoration guidelines.
The house combines two separate structures merged after 1825, with clapboard siding added during the second half of the nineteenth century.
