Okay, you Knoxville history buffs, here's a non-genealogy question for you. Does anyone know what the name was of the old livery stable that once stood at the South end of the Gay Street Bridge. I passed it thousands of times going to town (on the right side of the street) by car, walking, and on a bus. A huge tree grew up the middle of the stable and I suppose there was an entrance below on the river bank and another on the bridge level on the blind curve approaching from Sevier Ave.

My dad told me it was used by people going to town.

The 1873 State directory for Knoxville lists two liveries: Bell & Bell, livery stable, and Day & Thompson, livery stable.

Surely there were more than two by then.


If you don't know the answer, who might have information
on the stable.
