A 186-Year-Old Knoxville Mansion Moved Piece by Piece Lists for $4.8 Million

A sprawling Knoxville estate with a history stretching back nearly two centuries has hit the market for $4.8 million — and it's already marked pending. Speedwell Manor, perched on 18.25 acres above the Tennessee River in the Lakemoor Hills neighborhood, didn't start out in Knoxville at all. The house began its life roughly 100 years earlier in the small East Tennessee town of Tazewell before being hauled, piece by piece, to its current riverfront perch.

Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers to open in Greeneville

Renovations are underway at 301 S. Main St, the future home of Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers. Owners Scott and Lynn Grant say painting is almost complete; a muralist will be creating a landscape of the Smokies on their windows. Once completed, the building will look and feel like a vintage service station. The new look takes inspiration from the nearby Greeneville Greene County History and City Garage Car museums as well as local classic car meets like Sundown on the Depot, which its proprietors enjoy. The dealership will specialize in classic and luxury pre-owned vehicles. While this will be the Grants’ first business in the area, they previously ran what they said was the largest independent used car dealership in southwest Florida. “While we may be new to Greeneville, TN, we have been in the automotive industry for over 35 years,” Scott said. “Since retiring to the foothills of East Tennessee, we are aiming to provide a boutique car buying experience, focusing on quality versus quantity.” The Grants, who moved to Greeneville almost four years ago, enjoy attending downtown events like the Iris Festival and say they look forward to becoming more involved in the community they love.

What’s New & What’s Next Downtown, Part 1: Restaurants & Retail

Downtown Knoxville has been keeping busy, and I’ve got a massive backlog of openings, announcements and developments to prove it. Time for a catch-up! Last week I again joined Compass Knox editor Scott Barker and co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark on their Compass Points podcast to nerd out on all things downtown-ish. Naturally, I showed up with 10 FULL PAGES of notes about stuff happening in downtown proper alone. Since both hosts and producer Seth Barber failed to clear their next six hours for my monologue, I crammed what I could into a rapid-fire spoken word performance, confirming once and for all that I should stick to journalism.

Centrus ships first American made centrifuge from Oak Ridge to Ohio

The staff at Centrus Technology and Manufacturing Center at 400 Centrifuge Way in Oak Ridge on Oct. 29 joined politicians, along with company and government leaders, in celebrating the shipment of the first new American-made, advanced AC100M centrifuge as part of Centrus Energy Corp.’s multibillion-dollar expansion. The company is expanding its capacity to make thousands of gas centrifuges in Oak Ridge and to use those machines in the plant the company has been enlarging in Ohio to enrich uranium at traditional and higher concentrations for future nuclear power plants housing conventional or next-generation, advanced reactors. Pieces of the gas centrifuge have been shipped by truck to Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, where the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant previously enriched uranium. According to a Centrus Energy news release, the ceremony marked a milestone in which expanded centrifuge manufacturing in Tennessee is connected with uranium enrichment expansion in Ohio “to rebuild America’s nuclear fuel supply chain. The achievement marks the assembly of a complete, unobligated supply chain to serve both the commercial and national security markets.” “ Completing the first new centrifuge for our expansion and standing up a one-of-a-kind supply chain are significant moments for our team and
