A Property with a Story
Originally constructed around 1900 as a stately Broadway residence, the home’s most prominent resident was Eva Williams Malone, who lived here from 1902 until her death in 1908. A prominent suffragist and author, Malone supported her four surviving children through her writing after divorcing her abusive Confederate veteran husband in 1895. This was a bold and unusual act for her time. Her work, Out Among the Animals, remains in print today.
A teenage Walter Mynatt also once lived in the home, later serving as Mayor of Knoxville in 1938.
The commercial buildings are most widely known as the longtime home of Greenlee’s Bicycle Hospital, which operated here from 1962 until recently. Founded in 1899, Greenlee’s earned recognition as one of the oldest continuously operating bicycle shops in North America. The shop even serviced the bike of Kate Pierson of The B-52s.
Positioned for What’s Next
For a parcel of this size, few properties in North Knoxville combine this level of history, square footage, and visibility. With a Walk Score of 68, Bike Score of 74, and Transit Score of 36, the property is accessible from multiple surrounding neighborhoods and sits along a corridor that continues to attract reinvestment.
With thoughtful restoration or redevelopment, 1402 & 1406 North Broadway has the potential to once again serve as a landmark along Broadway, blending its historic character with the next chapter of North Knoxville’s growth.
