Chesterfield House, Knoxville, Tennessee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chesterfield House is an antebellum house in the Skaggston Community on Old Rutledge Pike in eastern Knox County, Tennessee. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was built in 1838 by Dr. G.W. Arnold, formerly of Roanoke, Virginia. It was located along a stagecoach route that began in Washington, D.C., passed through Knoxville and continued further south. Stagecoaches made stops at Chesterfield.

The mansion is a two-story brick structure with a one story covered front porch. The porch has a balcony above, accessed off a second floor room. Architecturally, the house has Georgian influences. It remains a private residence, and is not open to the public.
