Confederate Memorial Hall (Bleak House)
This Tuscan style villa was once owned by the Armstrongs who gave it the name "Bleak House" from a Charles Dickens poem. Confederate War General James Longstreet used it as his headquarters during the siege of Knoxville in 1863. Now it is a museum available for tours, parties, and weddings.
