Lawhon Cottage is located east and slightly north of downtown Knoxville (pop. 178,874 in 2010), approximately one and one-half miles from the Knox County courthouse. The present address of the house is 1910 Prospect Place, one of the original streets of “Morningside Addition to Knoxville,” a neighborhood first platted on a former portion of the McCammon farm in 1907.1 Immediately adjoining Dandridge Avenue (then Dandridge & Sevierville Pike), the neighborhood was generally laid out in rectangular blocks. South toward the river, the street grid was adapted to the hilly terrain, with streets angled to climb slopes at gentler grades. The hilliest portions of the neighborhood were re-platted in 1917 – mainly Prospect Place and East and West Terrace (now Granville Terrace) – and in 1927, in the area of Mabry Avenue and Somerset Drive (now Gaiter Circle), in order to make some of the lots more buildable.2 Prospect Place runs along the south 1 “Morning-Side Addition To Knoxville Tenn.” 1907, Map Book A, Page 34D (Knoxville: Knox County Register of Deeds). 2 Jerry Respess, “Revision of Morning Side Addition to Knoxville,” 1917, Slide B-4072 (Knoxville: City of Knoxville Department of Engineering); Holt & Lack Engineers, “Proposed Street Changes: Groner Drive, 3 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Lawhon, Charles L., Cottage Knox, Tennessee Name of Property County and State edge of the ridge of a hill overlooking the Tennessee River, its three-block length accessed from either end by Granville Terrace.
