Ernest Ames who was vice-president of First National Bank of Maryville and was also once the home of Maryville’s mayor, Tom Taylor.  When it was built this beautiful craftsman style home could be ordered from a Montgomery-Ward catalogue.

Many of the house’s original details are still apparent such as original leaded glass around the front door along with doorbell and letter box opening to the inside of house. Pocket doors separate the living room from the dining room. The fireplace and mirror are original as well as wall sconces and leaded glass on the bookcase. This home contains original hardwood floors on both floors. In addition, it has a unique metal roof with raised surfaces to divert rainwater. During the Depression, Maryville College owned the home and rented it out to college professors.  The home has been sold several times over the years.  The McTyres purchased it in 2006.  A unique story is that one of the college professors bought a monkey when his wife was out of town and kept it upstairs because she rarely was up there. 

The address was  first known as 600 Court Street until the homes were renumbered.

Victorian-inspired home built in 1919
1103 Court Street

1103 Court Street

This Victorian-inspired

residence built in 1919 has many features which were characteristic of the time.  The house seems to recall the more ornate Italianate Victorian but follows more closely the faced-wide-gable form of the Queen Anne Victorian.  The wide veranda, with the original decorative woodwork, wraps from the front to the side.  The solid glass entrance door is flanked by side windows and shingle glass lights. The decorative detailing common in Queen Anne style is not exhibited in this residence but is distinguished by its principle shape.  The bracketed cornices, raised columns and lacy column brackets are typical of the style and these original features still adorn this house.  The gracious foyer opens on the right to the front parlors, which can be closed by the original pocket doors, is the dining room with the original light fixture and built in China cabinet.  This house originally had four bedrooms but recent owners combined three of them into one grand master suite. This home may have been a kit home ordered from a catalogue.
