An elegant English-style stone cottage home was designed by Knoxville architect Clem H. Meyer for Clinton pharmacist, owner of Hoskins Drug Stores, and community leader Rolland Carvel Hoskins (1905-1999). Construction began in 1934 and was completed in 1937. Landscape architect was Kenneth F. Bottorf. Stone for the home came from a rock quarry in nearby Norris. The cost to construct the house was $10,000 and excavation and site work cost another $10,000. In a nod to Mr. Hoskins’ profession, a mortar-and-pestle emblem adorns each window shutter. The original roof is handmade clay tile that was delivered to Clinton by rail from California. Other notable features of the home include maple & chestnut cabinetry, chestnut floors & doors, Tennessee marble accents, a massive stone fireplace, Oriental lithographs, an in-house incinerator, and interior laundry, trash, & coal chutes. Four generations of the R.C. & Katherine Hoskins Family have called this stunning structure “home.”
