The Craighead-Jackson House is a two-story, brick house located at the corner of State Street and Hill Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee. The home was constructed by John Craighead in 1818 across the street from Blount Mansion. The Craighead-Jackson House is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Craighead family lived in the house until 1855, when it was sold to William Swan. Mr. Swan, who later was a member of the Confederate Congress, soon sold the house to George Jackson. The George Jackson family then lived in the home until around 1885. The state of Tennessee and the City of Knoxville purchased the property in 1962 and transferred it to the Blount Mansion Association. The house has been renovated, and is open to the public.
