The downtown area contains a mixture of architectural styles from various periods, ranging from the hewn-log James White House (1786) to the modern [[Knoxville Museum of Art]] (1990). Styles represented include [[Greek Revival architecture|Greek Revival]] ([[Old City Hall (Knoxville)|Old City Hall]]), [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]] (Hotel St. Oliver and Sullivan's Saloon), [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] ([[Church Street Methodist Church (Knoxville, Tennessee)|Church Street Methodist Church]] and [[Ayres Hall]]), [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassical]] (First Baptist Church), and [[Art Deco]] ([[United States Post Office and Courthouse (Knoxville, Tennessee)|Knoxville Post Office]]). Gay Street, Market Square, and Jackson Avenue contain numerous examples of late-19th and early-20th century commercial architecture.

Residential architecture tends to reflect the city's development over two centuries. [[William Blount Mansion]] (1791), in the oldest part of the city, is designed in a vernacular [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] style. "Streetcar suburbs" such as [[Fourth and Gill, Knoxville|Fourth and Gill]], [[Parkridge, Knoxville|Parkridge]], and [[Fort Sanders, Knoxville|Fort Sanders]], developed in the late 19th century with the advent of [[streetcar|trolleys]], tend to contain large concentrations of Victorian and [[bungalow]]/[[American Craftsman|Craftsman]]-style houses popular during this period. Early automobile suburbs, such as [[Lindbergh Forest]] and Sequoyah Hills, contain late-1920s and 1930s styles such as [[Tudor Revival architecture|Tudor Revival]], English Cottage, and [[Mission Revival architecture|Mission Revival]]. Neighborhoods developed after World War II typically consist of [[Ranch-style house]]s.

Knoxville is home to the nation's largest concentration of homes designed by noted Victorian residential architect [[George Franklin Barber]], who lived in the city.<ref>Knox Heritage, [http://www.knoxheritage.org/sites/default/files/KH%20George%20Barber%20Homes%20Tour_web.pdf George Barber Homes Trolley Tour Booklet] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726233012/http://www.knoxheritage.org/sites/default/files/KH%20George%20Barber%20Homes%20Tour_web.pdf |date=July 26, 2011 }}, 2007.
