Gay Street is home to art galleri, historic theaters, the East Tennsee History Center and more – wh many buildgs listed on the Natnal Register of Historic Plac. Gay Street was the se of the 1796 Constutnal Conventn that rulted the foundg of the state of Tennsee, and was a fol pot for the early polil activy of both the cy and the state of Tennsee.

One of Knoxville’s olst buildgs, the Lamar Hoe, now the ont portn of the Bijou Theatre, was operatg as a hotel facg Gay Street by 1817, when hosted a receptn for Gen. Begng 1908, Gay Street beme the lotn of Knoxville’s first skyscrapers, steel-ame buildgs of 10 stor or more, begng wh the Burwell Buildg, followed by the taller Holston Buildg, and some years later the Andrew Johnson Hotel, which was for almost half a century the tallt buildg East Tennsee.

From 1960 to 1963, Gay Street was the se of dozens of civil-rights monstratns, first s-s at all-whe lunch unters, then monstratns outsi the still-segregated movie theaters.

But long before Ruth McKenna ma Gay Street famo, the street and s Greenwich Village surroundgs had already e to be associated wh the word “gay.

THE HISTORY OF GREENWICH VILLAGE’S GAY STREET

At this time, the term “gay” was associated wh both men and women, many of whom lived plac like Greenwich Village or Paris. It was not until the mid-20th century that e of the term “gay” me to more monly mean specifilly those attracted to the same sex, and was not until the late 20th century that this fn me to eclipse other and associatns.

Of urse, durg this same time perd, Greenwich Village also evolved om beg one of the premier lol for those who were “gay”– as unfettered by ntemporary nventns — to, more specifilly, a mec for those who were “gay” — as attracted to the same sex.

So where this arc of the evolutn of the meang of the word gay, and of Greenwich Village’s inty, did the name “Gay Street” emerge?

Acrdg to “The Street Book: An Encyclopedia of Manhattan’s Street Nam and Their Origs” by Henry Mosw, the name Gay Street first appears officially the New York Cy Common Council mut on April 23, 1827 — when Greenwich Village was first beg settled as a suburb of New York by merchants fleeg the yellow fever epimics downtown. But Gay was born 1814, and th would have been only thirteen years old when the first published reference to “Gay Street” appeared.

Acrdg to Mosw, newspapers om the late 18th century do show at least one man wh the surname Gay who lived not far away on the Bowery, who may have been the street’s namake.

So spe of the street’s rich nnectns to LGBT and Ain-Amerin history, “Gay Street’s” associatns wh those groups may be nothg more than a cince.
