The Andrew Johnson Hotel: Past and Future

Few buildings are more associated with Knoxville's 20th century history than the Andrew Johnson Hotel. For the last 50 years, the building has been a rather lackluster office space, but in its heyday, it was host to some renowned guests and society happenings. Its future is bright. Oliver Hospitality has bought the iconic building and has plans to restore it to its former glory with a modern twist. 

Join historian Eric Dawson, manager of the McClung Historical Collection to talk about its past and developers from Oliver Hospitality to talk about their vision for its renovation. Nathan Honeycutt from McCarty Holsaple McCarty will talk about the architectural challenge to bring it back to its prime.
