Scruffy City Soirée



Story and photography by Marcy Anderson Sanford

The Scruffy City Soirée, presented by the Lawson Family Foundation, is Knox Heritage’s largest annual fundraiser and most anticipated event of the year. This year, the event was extra special as it commemorated a milestone for Knox Heritage: 50 years of preserving, safeguarding and celebrating the structures and spaces that tell the story of Knoxville. The Soirée featured a cocktail reception, seated dinner, whiskey pull, live music by the Tennessee Sheiks, dancing and more. Sanders Pace Architecture was honored as Preservationist of the Year for their contributions to historic preservation including work on the Candoro Marble Building, Little Switzerland, Dogan-Gaither Flats, the Dewine Building in North Knoxville (now known as The Press Room) and ongoing preservation work at the Eugenia Williams House.
