Chisholm Tavern not Chisholm Tavern?

When is Chisholm Tavern not Chisholm Tavern?  When it is on the wrong lot.

From the June 16, 1957 edition of The Knoxville News-Sentinel, we find a story that states the colonial building on Front Avenue isn't the original Chisholm Tavern built in the 1790s.

In Samuel G. Heiskell's book, Andrew Jackson and Early Tennessee History, there is a chapter on James White and the founding of Knoxville.

Here's the map of the original plan of Knoxville, with lots 32 and 17 highlighted, followed by a partial list of those that purchased the lots. 

Two images of the building from the Library of Congress.

Knoxville area historian, Kevin Bogle, has a nice write up on the Chisholm Tavern at his site, Historic Places In & Around Knoxville, Tennessee.

Another architectural mention of the Chisholm Tavern can be found at the site run by Tommy H. Jones, under the Craighead-Jackson House entry.

Old Knoxville Pharmacies

Paula Johnson, of Knoxville Food Tours, gave a very interesting brown bag lecture at the East Tennessee History Center, about the Lost Restaurants of Knoxville.

She spoke of several early and influential individuals associated with Knoxville eateries, and the restaurants themselves.  After the lecture my family and I went north on Gay Street for our first visit to the Phoenix Pharmacy and Fountain. 

I wanted to learn more, so I went digging  through the pamphlet, Progressive Knoxville, 1904, A Pictorial Review of the City (published in 1903 by Russell Harrison), I found three interior shots of local pharmacies.  I've also found an interior shot from the 1903 edition of Progressive Knoxville.
