The Mary Boyce Temple House, located at 623 Hill Avenue in Knoxville, is the last single-family residence in the city's downtown area.
 This house was built in 1907, and originally occupied by the Chambliss family.
 Temple, who had lived for many years with her father in a house built around 1830 by William Park at the corner of Market Street and Cumberland (no longer standing), bought the house now named for her in 1922, and died in the house in 1929.
 After a series of ownership changes and modifications over the decades, the house, threatened with demolition, was purchased in 2006 by Brian Pittman, who has since taken steps to renovate and restore it.

The two-story house exhibits design elements of Queen Anne and Tudor Revival styles.
 It retains its original exterior brick, iron, and woodwork, as well as many of its original interior elements, including an oak staircase.
 The main floor consists of a foyer, parlor, dining room, kitchen, pantry, office, and powder room, while the second floor includes three bedrooms, a nursery, and bathrooms.
 The house includes a Colonial Revival style porch, bay windows in the parlor and master bedroom, and three chimneys.

In October 2010, the Southern Paranormal and Anomaly Research Society (SPARS) conducted a paranormal investigation of the house in response to reports of paranormal activity by restoration workers.
