East Tennessee Medical Group Sequoyah Clinic
unknown, built by Henry B. Veal
Madisonville Clinic Building
Contemporary, with Prairie-style influence
327(?) South Tellico, Madisonville
1954
Metal roof and vinyl covering original wood exterior elements, c. 2000.
Encouraged by various federal programs, the creation of town medical clinics were a major trend of the health care industry in the post-World War II
era. This building is an excellent example of that medical history in a small town setting plus it has the added benefits of a Prairie-style design
adapted to local circumstances. This contemporary-styled clinic building can be found in similar-sized towns across the country. Builder Henry B.
Veal also is considered a key town leader in Madisonville during the 1950s and 1960s.
One-story brick and wood building with overhanging gable roof, covered in metal, and a concrete foundation. The façade is dominated by a projecting
center section, defined by three single pane widows, which also contains a side entrance.
A strong element of the changes of the town during the 1950s. Retains a degree of architectural integrity, although the metal roof and vinyl siding
detract from the original exterior materials. The interior was not assessed for any changes in layout, design, or materials.

and design shop. Thin brick veneer and symmetrically placed single pane, almost square, windows installed on the second floor c. 1950.
Lowry's Department Store was an important local business on the town square for most of the 20th century. A good representative of a two-part
commercial building in Madisonville.
Two-part commercial block, with the first floor defined by an off-centered recessed wood entrance flanked by wood framed display windows. The
second floor has been altered, c. 1950, with a thin brick veneer and two symmetrically placed, almost square, single pane windows. Brick and
concrete foundation. Flat asphalt roof.
One of the more significant commercial buildings on the downtown square, but changes to the exterior of the building in the mid-20th century have
diminished its potential eligibility for the National Register.

Standing on one of the town's most prominent corners, the building has been experienced major renovations at least twice. The addition of a yellowbrick veneer and entrance probably dates to the post-war automobile era, c. 1950, as the building was converted into a drugstore. During its
conversion to a restaurant in the 1990s, a new covered flat roof metal portico, supported by classical-styled infill metal posts occurred c. 1990.
