Mabry–Hazen House

The Mabry–Hazen House is a historic home located on an 8-acre (3.2 ha) site at 1711 Dandridge Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the crest of Mabry's Hill.At the outset of the American Civil War, Joseph Mabry II, a wealthy Knoxville merchant and importer, pledged $100,000.00 to outfit an entire regiment of Confederate soldiers.During the course of the war, both Union and Confederate forces occupied the strategic site of his house adjacent to Fort Hill.The cemetery also contains a 48-foot (15 m) high monument erected in 1892, consisting of a Tennessee marble obelisk topped by a Confederate soldier facing north.Mabry's daughter married Rush Strong Hazen, a benefactor to Leonora Whitaker Wood, whose life was fictionalized in the novel, Christy.
