Lewis Buckner (March 12, 1856–May 16, 1924) was an American house builder, carpenter and furniture maker. (His name has also been spelled "Louis Buckner".) Born and raised a slave as a child, Buckner was freed in 1865 and later apprenticed to a furniture maker. He became one of several successful African-American construction entrepreneurs in late-19th century Sevier County, Tennessee. At least fifteen homes that were either built by Buckner or are believed to have been built by Buckner are still standing, two of which are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. He also designed and built furniture in the late 19th century, and an elaborate bed and dresser were acquired in 2015 by the Tennessee State Museum for its collection. (en) |
