Regarding St. John's Lutheran Church. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
By1910 the congregation had grown to sufficient size to warrant a larger facility and through a large donation by a wealthy congregant, two lots were purchased at the corner of Broadway and Emory Place and the local architect R.F. Graf was retained to design the new building. Richard Franklin Graf (1865-1929) began his architectural career in Knoxville in 1894 by joining the prominent pattern book architect George F. Barber in the firm of Barber and Kluttz. He started his own firm in 1907 under the name of R.F. Graf and Sons, architects and structural engineers. Ground was broken for the new church in August, 1911. The completed building was dedicated on May 25, 1913.
