Fidelity Building (Knoxville)

The Fidelity Building, located in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a historic office building originally constructed in 1871 for the wholesale firm Cowan, McClung and Company. It showcases Italianate architectural style and has undergone significant renovations, notably in 1929 when it became the Fidelity-Bankers Trust Company. The building is notable for its role in Knoxville's late-nineteenth century wholesaling industry and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Today, it serves as the headquarters for H. T. Hackney, a major wholesale grocery distributor, and plans are in place to open a grocery store on its ground floor, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring Knoxville's commercial history.
