Luther Brannon House

The Luther Brannon House is a stone bungalow structure at 151 Oak Ridge Turnpike in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where it is one of the few buildings remaining from before World War II.

The Luther Brannon House was built in 1941 by Owen Hackworth. It was one of about 180 existing structures that were spared from demolition after the U.S. Army acquired the area for Manhattan Project production activities. The house is believed to have been used as headquarters for local project operations and living quarters for General Leslie Groves until the Army completed construction of new administration buildings.

After the war, when most other remaining pre-war structures in Oak Ridge were torn down, the house was left standing. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
