Knollwood (Bearden Hill)

Knollwood is an antebellum historic house at 6411 Kingston Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States.

The home was originally built in the Federal style, but neoclassical details were added in the late 19th century.

[2] Confederate General James Longstreet used the home as his headquarters in late 1863;[2] he is reputed to have planned the Battle of Fort Sanders, part of the Knoxville Campaign, in the dining room.

The Harvey Tucker family, wealthy Knoxvillians involved in the hospitality industry (i.e., Quality Courts, now part of Choice Hotels, Inc.), owned the house in the mid-to-late 20th century.

Through the era when the Tucker family lived at Knollwood, the sweeping front lawn remained undeveloped.
