Back in January, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that the University of Tennessee had approved a plan to tear down the first home Gen. Robert Neyland had lived in when he became Tennessee football’s head coach.
The house, located at 2111 Terrace Ave., was also the home of artist Russell Briscoe. You can see photos of it by clicking on the link above. Neyland specifically lived there when he first put the Vols on the national map in the lat 1920s, as they went undefeated in 1927, 1928 and 1929.
The university purchased the house in 1965 and is now planning to tear it down.
