The Leroy Keener House is a historic home located at 3506 Woodlawn School Road in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. It is also known as KN 2844, Fairview and Summer's Haven. Designed in the Federal style, the house was built in 1842 by Leroy Keener, an early Knox County farmer. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 for its architecture and role in the area's early settlement.
Leroy Keener's father, Peter Keener, moved to the Seven Islands area from Pennsylvania in 1809. The home of Peter Keener, a two-story log structure, still stands nearby on Seven Islands Road. Leroy Keener built his house in 1842, shortly after his marriage to Mary Jane McCallie. Keener's descendants occupied the house until 1913.
The house is a two-story brick structure. Several outbuildings still stand near the house, including a servant's quarters and a smokehouse.
