Welcome to the Knox Historical Museum
One of Barbourville's oldest building falls
Editor's Notes: The following article was taken from WKYT-TV about the the old Parker Building in Barbourville, whereby a wall section fell on June 7, 2021 and the building was becoming the victim to the wrecking ball. The Parker Building was initially erected in 1909 but became the home of the Union National Bank in the early 1920's.
The Parker Building also once contained a dentist and a library, both on the second story. A ballroom and meeting room for clubs, such as the the Moose Club, were held on the third story.
