​

An example of Queen Anne Revival architecture, the old Knox County
Court House stands at the corner of Main and Gay Streets in downtown
Knoxville. Built in 1885, this Court of Law has, over the years, touched
the lives of many Knox County residents. The landmark is listed on the
National Register for its architecture and its role in the county’s
political history. John Sevier, first Governor of Tennessee, is buried on
the Courthouse lawn.
