[**Open Old North Knoxville in Google Maps โ†’**35.9767ยฐ N, 83.9138ยฐ W ยท ZIP 37917](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=35.9767,-83.9138) ## Character The district contains one of Knoxville's densest concentrations of Victorian, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival homes, most built between 1890 and 1920. A decades-long grassroots restoration effort, led by the Historic Old North Knoxville neighborhood association, has turned formerly deteriorated properties into a sought-after in-town address. ## History The area was incorporated as the independent town of North Knoxville in 1889 before being annexed by the City of Knoxville in 1897. Suburban flight caused decline through the mid-20th century; restoration began in earnest in the 1970s and continues today under active historic-district design guidelines.
