Regarding Lenoir City Company. Excerpt from
this page online
Constructed in 1890, the Lenoir City Company Office originally served as the ticket office serving passengers on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway in addition to its function as the land office for the Lenoir City Company.
The Lenoir City Company Office is significant as the only surviving original building associated with the Lenoir City Company which planned and developed Lenoir City, Tennessee. This building continues to serve as the office for the Lenoir City Company which is still functioning as a land development and ownership concern. The office is additionally significant as an example of Victorian Cottage architecture.
