Knox Heritage presents the next installment of the monthly series Preservation Network. The July Preservation Network features architect Brian Pittman, designer with Johnson Architecture. Pittman will discuss his experience restoring his home, The Mary Boyce Temple house on W. Hill Avenue in downtown Knoxville. The Mary Boyce Temple House was built by Charles McNabb in 1907. McNabb was a local businessman who owned a billiard hall on Gay Street and later expanded his business interests to include larger amusement halls. From 1908 until 1922, Daniel M. Chambliss a local pharmacist and the president of the Kuhlman & Chambliss Company lived in the house. The house is better known, however, as the residence of prominent philanthropist Mary Boyce Temple, who purchased the house in 1922 and lived there until her death in 1929. She was a leader in the movement to preserve the Governor William Blount House in Knoxville; in 1925, her check provided the final amount needed to purchase the house and guarantee its survival. After many year of neglect, the house was purchased by local architect Brian Pittman in 2006, and over several years he restored it to its former glory.

Preservation Network is held at Historic Westwood, 3425 Kingston Pike. Parking is at Laurel Church of Christ, 3457 Kingston Pike. It is free and open to the public. Information: 865-523-8008, www.knoxheritage.org

The Cobra will be on display at AMSE through July except for its expected appearance Monday, July 4, in the Farragut Independence Day Parade. Researchers printed the Shelby Cobra at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine, which can manufacture strong, lightweight composite parts without the need for tooling.
