Mabry Hood House, Knoxville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mabry Hood House, also known as the Mabry Hood Mansion, was an antebellum home on Kingston Pike in Knox County, Tennessee. The vacant home sat in the path of Pellissippi Parkway, and was demolished when the construction commenced on the highway. Mabry Hood Road is named after the house.

It was one of several antebellum plantation homes located along Kingston Pike in the western Knox County. (The nearby Baker Peters House still survives.) The home was a two-story, Greek Revival style home with a columned, two-story high front porch. Although primarily brick, there was wood siding on the front face of the home behind the porch. Unlike Knollwood, the Mabry Hood House sat close to Kingston Pike, and near grade.
