Notes
  • Significance: The DeVault Tavern, built 1819-1821, is a well preserved and excellent example of an early 19th century stagecoach inn and tavern. This stop served the route tying Knoxville and Nashville with the economic and political centers of the north and east. Among its many guests were the three presidents - Andrew Jackson, James Knox Polk, and Andrew Johnson. The building still has its original wood screen bar and every bedroom is reached by a separate stairway. Notable is the building's exquisite woodwork - its porch, cornice, main stairway, and mantelpieces, and its original wrought iron strapwork. It has remained in the family to this day.
  • Survey number: HABS TN-217
