The G.W. Blackley House is one of the oldest houses in Bristol, Tennessee. It was listed on the Bristol Register of Historic Places in 2010. This federal style house was constructed by noted local furniture builder George W. Blackley〔"Furniture maker left his mark in Bristol", Bud Philips, Bristol Herald Courier, Sunday 4/20/2008.〕 at 122 East State Street in 1869. Blackley was one of the early settlers of Bristol, arriving in the area from Albemarle County, Virginia, around 1855. He was a master carpenter who built homes and made fine furniture for other settlers.〔Victor N. Phillips (1992), (Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia: a history, 1852-1900 ). The Overmountain Press. Pages 137-138.〕 The house stands near historic East Hill Cemetery, where many dead from the Civil War are buried, including Confederate war hero James Keeling.〔"Bud Phillips To Speak On East Hill Cemetery", Bud Philips, Monday 11/2/2009.〕 The G.W. Blackley house is one of the oldest homes in the town of Bristol and the first home built on East Hill.〔"Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia: A History, 1852-1900", Victor N. Phillips, The Overmountain Press, 1992.〕 Historic restoration is planned beginning in 2011-2012.
