Historic Westwood
Knoxville, TN, 37919 US / TN
Location Description
Historic Westwood was built as a “wedding promise” from John Edwin Lutz to his wife, Ann Adelia Armstrong Lutz, a prominent Knoxville artist and descendant from one of the founding families. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the c. 1890 home is a rare example of the Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque architectural styles. Today, visitors can enjoy complimentary tours led by trained volunteer docents and can experience grand Gilded Age architecture and interiors, a large collection of original art by Adelia Lutz (in her original studio room), a stunning collection of antique slag glass lamps from the Coates collection, and beautiful gardens. The home's historic kitchen was recently used as a setting in a film about local author James Agee. Also on the property is the adjacent Matheny Cottage, a 1955 ranch home that has been frequently used for filming by Jupiter Entertainment and, most recently, Qualia Pictures, LLC. submitted by: Todd Morgan
