The Avery Russell House, also called the Martin-Russell House or the Campbell's Station Inn, is a historic home located at 11409 Kingston Pike in Farragut, Tennessee, United States.
The Federal-style, two-story brick structure was built by Samuel Martin as an inn around 1835, on the site of Captain David Campbell's 1787 blockhouse. Just before the Civil War, the inn was sold to Avery Russell, who then used it as a family residence. It remained in the Russell family for six generations.Knox Heritage, Fragile Fifteen - Martin-Russell House , 15 May 2012. Retrieved: 22 May 2012. During the Civil War Battle of Campbell's Station on November 16, 1863, the house served as a temporary hospital.
Although it has had several alterations, the house remains an example of rural East Tennessee architecture.Knoxville: Fifty Landmarks. (Knoxville: The Knoxville Heritage Committee of the Junior League of Knoxville, 1976), page 19. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
