Locations mentioned in "The Great White Way"

To augment my recent post about "The Great White Way"of Knoxville, or the electric lighted signs in 1908, I assembled a rough map of where those businesses were located.

I used the 1908 City Directory to find the addresses of the businesses, then overlaid some of them on a 1903 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map.

• Kuhlman's Drugs - 301 S. Gay Street
• Hope Brothers Jewelers - 519 S. Gay Street
• Hotel Imperial - 530 S. Gay Street
• Ashe's Restaurant - 601 S. Gay Street
• Ritter's Cigars - 603 S. Gay Street
• Colonial Hotel - 806 S. Gay Street
• KECO - 716 S. Gay Street
• Kern's - 1 Market Street
