Emory Place Historic District
Emory Place Historic District, Historic district in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The Emory Place Historic District comprises commercial buildings, churches, and residential structures across 10 acres of northern downtown Knoxville.
The district emerged in the 1890s around a train station, transforming from an industrial center into a residential area after the electric trolley arrival in 1905.
The neighborhood features the Beaux-Arts Knoxville High School building from 1910 and First Christian Church with its Neoclassical marble details from 1913.
The district boundaries extend between Broadway and King streets, incorporating North Central, Emory, Fifth, and East Fourth avenues in central Knoxville.
Multiple transportation changes shaped this district, from the initial Dummy Line railroad to electric trolleys, leading to architectural transformations across different periods.
