After several months off, we’ll be Zooming again on October 17, with a reprise of our September Maple Hall talk, a review of striking photographs of downtown Knoxville in the 1970s, from the surprising to the appalling, when by all accounts the city was not quite ready for its close-up.
Archivist Zachary Keith with the Knox County Archives recently shared with us more than 900 striking photographs, mostly of downtown, featuring lots of scenes that may startle you, including the demolition of the Empire Building—the Market Street office building that was one of the largest buildings ever demolished downtown—the long-gone hotels and commercial buildings of Wall Avenue torn down for the TVA Towers project, and several colorful businesses we haven’t quite forgotten.
