Westwood House

The Westwood house is one of the many beautiful houses along Kingston Pike that make the drive so stunning. This house however is no longer a residential home - it is one of Knoxville's treasured historical homes. The house was originally built by John Edwin Lutz and his wife Ann Adelia Armstrong Lutz as a "wedding promise" for each other in 1890. Mrs. Lutz was the first artist in Tennessee and her art is featured all throughout the home. This house is one of "The Three Sisters" along Kingston Pike. The other two are Crescent Bend and the Bleak house.

The Westwood house is now used as a wedding venue for future couples. Because of the "wedding promise" the Lutz's made to each other, it is appropriate for the mansion to now hold weddings and other special parties.

I chose this location because not many people know it's a historical home or wedding venue (at least I didn't). A good friend of mine is actually the Director of Events for the Westwood house and she helps to preserve the building and put on wedding events. The house is so beautiful on the inside. They have tried to not renovate too much of the house so it could keep it's original parts. And you will notice that once you're inside.

If you've ever driven down Kingston Pike, which just about everyone has, you are sure to see this beautiful house! I would absolutely go back. It's full of so much history, art, and romance.
