The Deery Inn

This is the old Deery Inn in Blountville, TN. It was built in 1785 by Mr. Deery and has hosted some notable figures from American history. Like Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson and James K Polk. The scaffolding is part of a much needed restoration being preformed by the Sullivan Co. Preservation Society.

The Deery Inn saw continuous operation as an inn until 1929. It was, of course, upgraded with the addition of indoor plumbing and electricity as they became available.
