​

Constructed in 1904, the majestic station in downtown Knoxville was
designed by L & N Railroad chief engineer Richard Montfort with ornate
metal, wood, and brick trim, marble tile floors, and exquisite windows
of stained glass. It was a major depot to southeastern railway travel
until 1968 when the last passenger train left Knoxville. The building was
restored for the 1982 World’s Fair and is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places.
