Thompson-Brown House - Maryville, TN - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The Thompson-Brown House is one of the oldest two-story, two pen log buildings in East Tennessee. The exact date of construction or who built it has not been pinpointed, but archeologists believe the house was erected in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. William Thompson purchased the land from Thomas Barclay. Thompson is thought to have built or had the house built. Thompson family story tells of the birth of a daughter in the house in 1823. Deeds describing the early property lines give measurements in “poles and chains,” with corners listed as “a large oak tree” or a “walnut tree” making interpretation difficult for a latter-day researcher.
