Site Info

Art Deco (1925)

The Hub. Three story brick with applied limestone keys, sill and cornice, altered storefront. Prism glass transom. Paired four over one windows and paired transom windows. Half story at rear comprising fourth story of building.


Although the storefront currently in place was approved by the Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission and met the requirements of the Market Square Design Guidelines, staff at the National Park Service has expressed some reservations about the storefront design and the opinion that reworking that design will better enable this building to meet National Park Service requirements. This design also meets the Market Square Design Guidelines.
