W.R. “Sandy” McNabb
Help us honor a remarkable historian. KHP will continue its tradition of recognizing an individual who has demonstrated significant contributions to what we know about the city’s history. This year our honoree is historian and preservationist William Ross “Sandy McNabb.
Sandy McNabb is a former director of the Dulin Gallery of Art, forerunner to the Knoxville Museum of Art. As a preservationist in the mid-1970s he co-founded Knox Heritage and saved the Bijou Theatre. He contributed a chapter on “Architecture“ for the standard reference book Heart of the Valley, (ETHS, 1976) and served as president of ETHS. His book, Tradition, Innovation & Romantic Images: Architecture of Historic Knoxville (UT, 1991) remains the best-known book on the city‘s architectural history.
The event starts with a social hour from 11:00 a.m. Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m., and the main program commences at noon. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available by request before June 20.
