The Knox County Courthouse is a historic building located at 300 Main Street in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States.[2][3] Built in 1886, it served as Knox County's courthouse until the completion of the City-County Building in 1980, and continues to house offices for several county departments.[4] John Sevier, Tennessee's first governor, is buried on the courthouse lawn. The courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and its role in the county's political history.[5]
