PEABODY SCHOOL, KNOXVILLE’S FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOL, LATER KNOWN AS OUR LABOR TEMPLE, IS IN PERIL
Jack Neely
That's a very interesting and poignant article by Jack Neely. Thanks for bringing it here. This is the paragraph that got to me:
Maybe I’m naïve. I was expecting something inspired to happen to this historic landmark when people learned it was there. I’ve gotten spoiled by local architects surprising me with something better than I expected. But I’m starting to think the era when everything new that happened in downtown Knoxville was mostly good, and a credit to the city’s history, is coming to a close. People who don’t understand the old stuff are swooping in to do something like they saw in Atlanta 20 years ago, and make a quick buck. Or a few million of them.
