About Graham-Kivette House (Boundary Decrease)
The Graham-Kivett House is a historic house in Tazewell, Tennessee. It was built of limestone around 1800 by William Graham, an immigrant from Ireland who co-founded of Tazewell. The house was designed in the Federal architectural style. By the turn of the 20th century, it belonged to William Yoakum, who sold it to James Kivett, a lawyer. It was inherited by his son, J. K. Kivett, who served as the county judge of Claiborne County until he was "convicted in December 1956 of taking four $1,000 county bonds to a Knoxville bank in June 1954 to obtain a personal loan of $5,400." The house remained in the Kivett family in the 1970s.
