Colonel John Williams House
Colonel John Williams House, Federal-style historic residence in Knoxville, United States.
The Colonel John Williams House displays classical symmetry with double-hung windows, detailed cornices, and a prominent fanlight at the roofline.
Built between 1825 and 1826, this residence belonged to Colonel John Williams, who served as United States Senator and achieved military recognition at Horseshoe Bend.
The house represents early American architectural traditions and reflects the social status of Tennessee's prominent political figures during the nineteenth century.
The property connects to Williams Creek Golf Course, an 18-hole par 3 facility operated by First Tee of Greater Knoxville.
Construction of the house occurred through the labor of enslaved individuals while Colonel Williams served as Chargé d'Affaires to Guatemala under President John Quincy Adams.
