This page is dedicated to providing the public with an ever-changing and updated site on the progress of the Temple House 
renovation/reconstruction/preservation project occurring on the very busy corner of Henley Street and W. Hill Avenue in 
Downtown Knoxville Tennessee. 

Along the way we’ll update the site with pictures of first the clean up, then the massive demolition of years of bastardization into decades of low rent apartments, then updating of the property as it’s completed. Ultimately one should be able to view this process in all it’s glory, gore, and detail and learn a bit about the houses history along its path to a home with dignity once again. The original owners of the house were well to do upwardly mobile folks who were the mainstay of our community when they lived here. Hopefully we’ll make them and Knoxville proud of the last free standing private residence in all of downtown Knoxville.
