I always thought that obscure structure to be a "cute" Li'l ol' building.  Even as recently as the '90s, it had been one of the once many Life of Georgia Insurance Co. branch offices.

Marche Artisan Foods is the current tenant on the first level of the one-time home at 1000 Main Street (eastern quadrant of intersection of Main, South 10th Street and Clearview Ave.) There are some offices upstairs. The 2 story, 10,762 sq. ft. structure went up in 1960.

i think this may be the right place for this? either way, here goes:

 

my first home purchase was in the bennie dillon in 2012. getting money was still kind of tight at the time, so i was really sweating during the closing, no matter how much my team was assuring me that it would be smooth sailing. to this day, i have precisely no idea why, but one day in the middle of the whole thing, i decided to search on ebay for anything having to do with the bennie dillon. i ended up finding a page from the architectural forum from march of 1927 that advertised "pyrobar partition tile" with a brand spanking new bennie dillon! it was at that exact moment that i felt good about the deal going through, as this was destiny running over me in a six series bmw. i was originally going to give it to the building to keep, but my mother asked for it after i sold, so i obliged. she's since given it back to me and i've been meaning to share it here for years. here you are, UPers:

The circa 1870 2-story, 2,934 sq. ft. home in Germantown at 1220 7th Ave. North is up for sale.  Will be interesting to see who purchases and for what repurposing, or if it will remain a residence.

From Nashville Post:

In one of the more noteworthy property listings of late, an 1870s-constructed Italianate building in Germantown is now for sale for $895,000.

The building is located at 1220 Seventh Ave. N. and is zoned MUN, which allows office, retail and residential uses.

Phil Ryan, vice president of Nashville-based Cherry and Associates, has the listing. “This beautiful two-story residence is a precious commodity,” Ryan said. “In most respects, it remains as it was in 1870s Nashville.”

Ryan said that during the building’s almost 150 years of existence, its various owners have done “minimal renovation, allowing a new owner the opportunity to adapt the property to a new use from its near original state.”

The owners are individuals who are not active in the local real estate community, according to Metro records.

Bongo Java has been the tenant at 2007 Belmont Blvd. for over two decades, and was the first in the resurgence of coffeehouses around town.  The two story brick home was built in 1905, originally with 4,808 sq. ft. of space.  There was a front addition put on around five years ago.

Bongo Java gained some international attention with its "nun bun" a couple of decades ago. I am fortunate to have seen the "immaculate confection" once before it disappeared into thin air.

Does anyone happen to have any photos of this building when Hunters had it and had the race car inside?

James Geddes Engine Co. 6 Fire Hall in Rutlege Hill area along 2nd Ave. South is up for sale at $3 million.  Has housed a legal firm for the past 5 years.  One of my favorite older structures in town.  Will be interesting to see who buys and how they repurpose it next.

Did this store move or just close? I always wanted to check it out but never had a chance.

Nobles Beer Hall is now open at 974 Main Street.  Originally a 1 story 4,160 sq. ft. garage that was built in 1955, the now 2-story structure has doubled the size.  

 

 

This is what it looked like last year:

Very disappointing build. No creativity in that design.

[nashvylle]

I like the original version more. 

[markhollin]

The 2 story, 5,614 square foot home constructed in 1900 at 2011 Belmont Blvd. is currently housing Proper Bagel.

That Nobles beer hall is poisonous looking.

The former Fatherland Church building at NE corner of 10th Street South and Russell St. in East Nashville is now fully gutted for the repurposing of a large restaurant/bar.

A group including local real estate investor Darek Bell has bought the home of Tuck-Hinton Architects with plans that could involve a distillery or brewery component.

The group that also reportedly includes Chicago investors paid $6.2 million for the .77-acre site. The location includes the former Elm Street Methodist Church at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Elm Street, which the architecture firm has called home for 22 years.

“We're planning to preserve that unique building,” Bell said about the masonry structure that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

The owner of Corsair Distillery, who is also a partner in Bell & Associates Construction, declined to identify his partners in buying the .77-acre site or to offer details on their plans.

In addition to the former church at 614 Fifth Ave. S., which was built in 1871, the purchase included the adjacent parking lots with addresses 610 and 612 Fifth Ave S.

The Red Door Saloon is the current tenant in the 1,528 sq. ft. one-story home at 1010 Forrest Ave. in East Nashville.  It was originally built in 1926. 1,000 sq. ft. of covered decking was added to the back in the last decade.

208-210 Broadway was originally built in 1901, but has had some additions over the decades. The combined 18,304 square feet over the 2 and 3 floors is about to become home to Redneck Riviera, a new themed country bar.  There will be a rooftop patio on top of the shorter section. In the second photo you can see how they are digging out the basement.  Quite a feat getting the machinery down into that hole.

^^Knowing John Rich, that place will probably be wild.

The BLVD Restaurant is the current tenant of the circa 1915, 5,730 sq. ft., 2 story house with an address of 2013 Belmont Blvd:
