From a July 2, 2012, Kingsport Times-News article by Susan Kendrick Lauhoff, we learn that: According to Curator Rod Gemayel, "the Allandale barns were built in the late 1930s and early 1940s by J. Fred Johnson and later embellished by Harvey Brooks in 1949-50."
A Brooks family quilt was never discovered after the City of Kingsport inherited the magnificent estate, so the "Stars Over Tennessee" pattern was chosen, painted and hung in 2005 by the youth leadership of S.H.O.U.T. (Students Helping Others Understand Tomorrow).
