Old Knoxville City Hall, Knoxville

Constructed in the late 1840s, the Tennessee School for the Deaf and Dumb (now the Tennessee School for the Deaf) served as the original building complex of the Old City Hall. The complex comprises five interconnected buildings: the main building, a three-story structure completed in 1851, and four additions constructed between 1874 and 1899. The entire complex is situated atop a wooded knoll.

The central section's facade boasts a portico featuring four Ionic columns that support a large pediment, accessed by a marble staircase. Among the rear additions, one was designed in the Italian Renaissance style, while another contains Neoclassical elements. Over the years, the interiors of the buildings have undergone extensive modifications as the complex's role evolved.

From 1925 to 1980, the Old City Hall served as Knoxville's city hall. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey. Presently, the Duncan School of Law of Lincoln Memorial University occupies the complex.
