Colonial 511, Kingston, TN

The original house built on the current site was a log structure, with only the basement remaining today. During the Civil War, the basement served as a fort for storing ammunition, offering clear views of the Tennessee and Clinch Rivers as well as the Cumberland Road, the main East-West route to Nashville at the time.

After the war, Judge Crumbliss redesigned the house to a seven-gabled style, with the front porch facing the Tennessee River to the south. Subsequent owners, the Eblens, later reconfigured the house, orienting the front porch towards Cumberland Street to the north.
In the 1930s, the Eblens sold the house to the Bronce & Vera Johnson, who transformed it into a true Southern Colonial style. The architect, hailing from Knoxville, added a two-story formal section and a single-story Early American portion, previously serving as the carriage house. The residence was further enhanced with the addition of a back patio, pool, pool house—featuring a marble floor—and a circular driveway while preserving the property’s trees and overall silhouette.

Noteworthy elements within the house include stairs and mantels sourced from the Ward House and molding from the old YMCA building in Oakdale, TN. These historic artifacts were chosen for Lindale due to their originality.

An intriguing feature is the outside kitchen's brick walls, made from ballast bricks manufactured in England and used on sailing ships for balance during voyages to America. These bricks were also available for riverboat ballast, with some arriving at Kingston's shores, now the site of Lindale (Colonial511). During excavation, these bricks were discovered beneath layers of soil and plant growth.

The limestone blocks enclosing the pool's east side and forming the pool house's foundation were repurposed from the old Clinch River Bridge. This bridge once spanned the Clinch River near what is now Kingston City Park.

The property boasts various tree species, including elm, maple, sycamore, cedar, and spruce, with the oldest being over a century old. Notably, a unique vine found on the western side of the pool typically thrives in New Orleans but has adapted to the Kingston region.

This distinguished two-story colonial residence has long been a standout landmark in Kingston, recognized across the state for its historical and architectural significance.
