The University of Tennessee has demolished the house where General Robert Neyland lived on campus.

Despite a movement to prevent the demolition of the home, located at 2111 Terrace Avenue, the process began in recent weeks. Neyland lived in the house during his famous flu game against Florida in 1928, and it was later home to Knoxville businessman and artist Russell Briscoe. In recent years, the home has fallen into disrepair. The school purchased the home in 1965.

Robert Neyland Jr. was among several relatives who had an alternative plan besides demolition.

“If they decide to turn it into a museum, it would be a nice idea,” Neyland Jr. said. “That house he lived in was just barely before I was born in 1930, four years after he became the head coach. It would be nice to do something to the house to honor him.”

Vols Wire captured a series of photos during the demolition.
