  • Historic Structures Survey for the Washington Pike Roadway Improvements Project Knoxville, Knox County, TN TDOT PIN # 043090.00
    Historic Structures Survey for the Washington Pike Roadway Improvements Project Knoxville, Knox County, TN TDOT PIN # 043090.00 PREPARED FOR: City of Knoxville, Tennessee SUBMITTED BY: PO Box 1631 Knoxville, TN 37901 JANUARY 2013 1100 Marion Street, Suite 200 Knoxville, TN 37921 Management Summary CDM Smith conducted the historic structures survey for proposed improvements to Washington Pike in the City of Knoxville in Knox County in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and Section 4(f) of the U.S. DOT Act of 1966. This survey was conducted on behalf of the City of Knoxville and the Tennessee Department of Transportation with funding from the Federal Highway Administration. The project is located along Washington Pike with its western terminus at the I-640 interchange and its eastern terminus at Murphy Road. A search of the Tennessee State Historic Preservation Office files revealed no resources listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in the general vicinity of the project. A historic structures survey was conducted in April 2012 to identify historic resources in the designated project Area of Potential Effect (APE), determine their eligibility for listing on the NRHP, and assess the project’s potential effect on eligible properties. Results of the recent field survey found 14 resources within the APE of which 13 resources were determined not eligible and one resource is recommended eligible for the NRHP. It is the opinion of the consultant that the Murphy Springs Farm (KN-2586) is eligible for the NRHP based on Criteria A as an example of a family farmstead in the Early Settlement of Knox County and Criteria C for its example of Gothic Revival architecture.
