Knoxville High Senior Independent Living

A little more than five years ago, I posted this story about the indoor firing range inside the attic of the Old Knoxville High. It was right on the heels of Knox County Commission selling it to Rick Dover to develop it for Senior Living apartments.

Today with Justin Biggs, Knox County Commissioner at Large Seat 11 and Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs, Hubert Smith, Vivian Underwood Shipe along with Sherburne Smith-Martin & James Martin touring the facility.

The facility has about 80 apartments, a little more than half are occupied. You really need to go check it out, call and schedule a tour. Tell them BrianHornback.Com has sent ya.

The facility is phenomenal, they have honored the history of the Old Knoxville High throughout.
