As the revitalization of Buchanan St. in North Nashville continues, I would love to see this odd shaped structure at 105 Buchanan get reimagined. Built in 1920, this two story brick beauty has 5,490 sq. ft. of space.

Looks like some large windows/doors were replaced with those small windows and that industrial metal door. For the whole building to look in proportion, the ground level should have same size windows at the second floor.

Hasn’t always been the best area, the bottom of the windows were probably bricked up to deter break-ins. I’m almost positive if anyone decides to rehab this beauty they’ll reopen the windows to their full size.

The home at 1507 16th Ave. South has served many purposes within the music biz over the decades.  Built in 1920, the 3 story, 5,528 sq. ft. brick structure is currently home to Buzz Angle Music and Graceland Business Center.

The 1 story brick storefront at 2317 12th Ave. South has housed many businesses since it's construction in 1930.  In the past 15 years they have been various eateries. The 2,400 sq. ft. space is currently home to Taqueria del Sol.

The interior, large picture, is not the 12 South location. Maybe the Charlotte one.

You are are correct as the Post office is across the street and ML ROSE can be seen outside the windows..

The two story brick storefront at 2609 Nolensville Rd. has had many tenants since it was opened in 1921. For the past two decades the 7,565 square foot space has been home to Phonolux Records.

Phonoluxe opened in August 1987. Its been there 30 glorious years! (And it has witnessed a lot of change in that neighborhood.)

Built in 1890, the two-story brick beauty at 56 Lindsley Ave. was originally 1,510 sq. ft., but has had several thousand more added on the back over the years.  It is currently home to Fox Fuel Creative.

1317 16th Ave. South was built in 1928.  It features 3 stories covering 3,880 sq. ft., and has housed many music business operations in the past 50+ years.  It is currently office space.

The onetime home of 1920-era Turner Elementary School at 2949 Nolensville Rd. (3 stories, 30,400 sq. ft. on 1.83 acres) has been bought for $3.6 million to an unidentified buyer.  It had been home to a church for the past several years.  The property is zone for Class C office space.

Would/could be a great residential reno.

Currently not in use, the one time service station at 1213 Buchanan St. has some potential as coffeeshop or restaurant.  Built in 1930, it has 2,389 sq. ft.

I don't think that area of North Nashville is the best location for a coffee shop.

This is a third of a mile from Slim & Huskies, Nisolo, and the epicenter of the "Buchanan Arts District."  I think it's a perfect place for a coffee shop!

Right. 1/3 of a mile. I think it should be IN the epicenter of this "Arts District." I think there should be a dense area of attractive places to go before they start spreading out. Create a haven for visitors, and don't make them have to walk. 

This "Arts District" monicker is ingenious marketing by the way. Call it something it's not, in order to get the ball rolling with its notoriety and "up-and-coming-ness"

Bingo.

132 2nd Ave. North, which was built in 1900 and covers 20,000 sq. ft. over 3 stories along 2nd and 4 stories along 1st Ave., has served many purposes in it's 118 years.  Built primarily for warehousing in its original intent, it has been a home to Nashville Cowboy boot retailer of late.  However, developmental guru Bill Miller yesterday purchased it for $7 million, and has undisclosed plans for a presence via a restaurant or club or museum along 2nd Ave. North.

Walking is good. Street activation is good.

Walking is good, I agree, but nobody going to Nisolo or Holiday Salon is going to be walking a third of a mile in that part of North Nashville. Create a true "epicenter" first, and let the street activation spread from there.

The 3 story brick home at 2320 West End Ave. was built in 1920, and has served many purposes beyond being a residence in its nearly 100 years. The 7,940 sq. foot mansion currently houses Atmology Coffeehouse.
