The James Park House in Knoxville, Tennessee is a building of historical significance due to its architectural distinction from the earliest period of Knoxville’s history. The interior of the house retains its fine Federal woodwork, which was probably handcrafted by Thomas Hope, an early Knoxville joiner, cabinet maker, and architect. The lot on which the house stands was purchased by John Sevier, Tennessee’s first Governor and namesake of Sevier County and Sevierville in East Tennessee. However, as Sevier did not have sufficient funds to complete his mansion, the foundations and basement walls were built by him and later sold to James Park, who had recently come to America from Ireland with his brother William.
Despite the house’s current location in the Downtown Knoxville area, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on October 18, 1972, and continues to remain on that list today. The original documents submitted to the NRHP provide information about the historic significance of the James Park House.
