Avery Russell House - Campbell's Station - Farragut, Tennessee

The Avery Russell home is located in the Campbell's Station-Farrugut Community on Kingston Pike, which at one time carried all the major Knoxville to Nashville traffic. The house, a two-story brick building, built around 1835, was originally an inn and it was not until just before the Civil War that it was converted to a residence. It is reminiscent of Federal style architecture, with symmetrical fenestration and paired end chimneys. The house occupies the site where David Campbell erected a blockhouse in 1787 to protect settlers against Indian attacks. As the Indian threat decreased, Campbell's Station became an important stopping place for travelers and stock drivers. It was also one of the most important trading posts in the area. In 1822, Campbell sold all his property to Samuel Martin who built the inn (now the Avery Russell home) in 1835. In 1853, the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad by-passed Campbell's Station, thus signalling the end of the inns at Campbell's Station. Prior to the Civil War, Martin sold the inn to Avery Russell who converted it into a residence. The home has been in the Russell family since.

The house also witnessed the "battle" of Campbell's Station during the Civil War. General Burnside sought to lure General Longstreet and his Confederate troops away from Chattanooga where Grant was besieging the city. Thus, Burnside fought several skirmishes with Longstreet's troops, one of them being at Campbell's Station. The skirmish lasted the day of November 15, 1863, with Burnside's troops slipping away toward Knoxville that night. It is said the Russell home served as a hospital during the skirmish.

The home is significant in that it has "participated" in and reflects all the important historic happenings of Campbell's Station (Farragut, TN). It is also one of only a few tangible reminders left of Campbell's Station's historic past. On June 5, 1975, this home was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its significant history. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be viewed here: npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/232aea09-5585-4eca-a70...

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
