Last weekend Derek and I walked around the Fort Wood Historic District, a neighborhood in Chattanooga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neighborhood is right next to the UTC campus and is a couple of blocks wide. Two of the biggest homes are the Mayor’s Mansion Inn, which is a bread and breakfast, and the Patten House, a UTC building that houses the The Southeast Center for Education in the Arts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A fortification during the Civil War, Fort Wood was constructed by the Union Army in 1863. The National Park Service placed several war-era cannons in the neighborhood. In the 1880s, the fort and surrounding land was auctioned off. In time, Fort Wood became one of Chattanooga’s finest residential neighborhoods,” Wikipedia says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed walking around a new to us section of the city and mused about what it would be like to live in one of the homes. It was a good way to get outside and still practice social distancing. We did not see many people and those that we did were relaxing on their beautiful front porches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
