| harriman's historic temperance building is on the right |
built in 1891 to house the offices of the east tennessee land company which founded harriman, the temperance building, one of harriman's most recognizable and popular landmarks, still stands at the corner of roane and walden streets. at the demise of the land company, the building was bought by the american temperance university and was called greenlee hall. in 1914, harriman bought the building for itself and it served as city hall for a good part of the twentieth century. today the temperance building is the home of the city's heritage museum, and visitors to the area can tour it by appointment.
