Statesview, or States View, is a historic house located on South Peters Road off Kingston Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Built in 1805 by early Knoxville architect Thomas Hope and rebuilt in 1823 following a fire, Statesview was originally the home of surveyor Charles McClung (1761–1835). Following McClung's death, newspaper publisher Frederick Heiskell (1786–1882) purchased the house and estate, which he renamed "Fruit Hill."[3] The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and political significance.[2]

Design


Statesview is a simple, two-story Federal-style brick house,[2] located on a wooded lot opposite the intersection of South Peters Road and George Williams Road. The house consists of a main section, a smaller (but still two stories) northeast wing, and a modern rear addition.[2] The main section consists of a central entry hall flanked by rooms on either side, with a staircase leading to the second story.[2] It is unknown how closely the current house, reconstructed following a fire in 1823, resembles the original house, or if it includes any part of the original.[2]

History


Statesview was built for early Knoxville surveyor Charles McClung, a son-in-law of Knoxville founder James White.[4] McClung drew up the original 1791 plat of Knoxville, and surveyed what is now Kingston Pike during the same period.[4] Construction on Statesview, then located in an isolated area west of Knoxville, began around 1804, and was completed in 1805.[2] To build the house, McClung hired Thomas Hope, an English-born architect and house joiner who had previously built the Ramsey House in east Knox County.[5]


Following McClung's death in 1835, his heirs sold the house and estate to Frederick Heiskell.[6] Heiskell had cofounded the Knoxville Register, the city's leading newspaper, in 1816.[6] Prior to purchasing Statesview, however, he sold his interest in the paper and retired.[7] Heiskell renamed the estate "Fruit Hill."[3]


By the time Heiskell purchased Statesview, the estate consisted of 1,200 acres (490 ha),[7] and included a gristmill along nearby Sinking Creek (modern Ten Mile Creek) known as "Mansion Mill" (replaced circa 1870 by the current Ebenezer Mill),[8] as well as a sawmill.[7] Heiskell planted extensive orchards throughout the estate, where he grew apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, and quinces. He also raised horses, cattle, and hogs.[7]


Around 1880, Heiskell, then in his early 90s, moved back to Knoxville.[9] The ownership of Statesview passed to his stepson, James Fulkerson.[6]
