Major Robert Bannon Reynolds, veteran of the War with Mexico, built this house in 1848. During the War between the States, it was the command post of Confederate commander, Major Gen. James Longstreet, prior to his launching of the siege of Knoxville. Many Confederate units were camped in the fields nearby.




Major Reynolds' sister supervised its construction while he was in the Mexican-American War.
It is now owned by Schaad Companies and cannot be toured.
