Knoxville Prosperity Amid Appalachian Trade Hub
Knoxville sits at the heart of the Appalachian region where diverse industries sustain wealth and steady business. In 1908 two new banks rose with a ten story marble front building and a two story structure while another modern bank is under construction. Six miles of streets were paved with bitulithic and asphalt, and many fine residences were built in the city and suburbs.
