The repurposing of the warehouse/machine shop  built in 1932 at 1004 4th Ave. North into Von Elrod's Beer and Sausage Garden opened last Friday.  The 7,836 sq. ft. building sits directly across the street from the entrance of First Tennessee Ballpark, and should do very good business, especially during baseball season.

Can't WAIT to go to von Elrods!

Not crazy about the corral fence, but overall it's a great reuse of the building.

The one-time manufacturing shop for Southern Broom and Mop at 1300 3rd Ave. North in Germantown, is about to be reopened as a restaurant with the same name.  Originally built in 1940.

Update on The Clementine (see 7-29-17 post i=on this thread). Built in 1945, this former church will be reopened next spring as an events center.  This from The Nashville Post:

Nashville-based developer Dan Cook is eyeing a May 1 for his long-planned Clementine event space on Charlotte Avenue. Cook said all Metro approvals have been issued and he will soon announce a general contractor for the West Nashville project. He is awaiting a building permit. Clementine will have an address of 4708 Charlotte Ave.

Pre-opening rental prices have been released, with rental periods of 10 to 12 hours at $2,500 to $8.500 per block of time. However, hourly rates are available.

Clementine capacity will be as follows: 300 people seated, 300 for a ceremony, and 500 for a reception. “We have Rhythm City Church as our first long-term tenant,” Cook said. That congregation currently meets at 3rd & Lindsley in SoBro.

Cook said he has pre-booked for multiple events and are now showing the building in its post-demolition and pre-construction state. Of note, about 25 percent of the building, both interior and exterior of the building has been altered, removed or razed.

Clementine will offer two large indoor rooms, an outdoor courtyard, three dressing rooms and a  catering room. Amenities will include decorative lighting, audio, video, a manager, ice/water/garbage and security.

In late August, the Metro Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance related to the project’s wall height.

The street wall will rank among the more distinctive exterior design elements for the city’s many adaptive reuse projects. Cook feeks the wall for will offer some privacy for guests who use the outdoor space. The outdoor wall — to rise about six feet and to be landscaped — will front the property next door and at which restaurateur John Stephenson is planning Hathorne. That business should open at about the same time as Clementine.

Clementine will operate from a former church building, the original portion of which was constructed in 1889, on a 0.45-acre site. Stephenson will operate from a smaller building (once part of the church) that opened in 1947. Both structures are set back about 25 feet from the sidewalk (though neither is severed from the sidewalk by asphalt surface parking).

Local Honey, a combo hair solon and clothing boutique, is the current tenant in the former house at 2009 Belmont Blvd.  Originally built in 1906, the two story, 1,732 sq. ft. house is one of many on that stretch of the west side of Belmont that have been repurposed.

Luigi's City Pizza is the current tenant of the revamped  space at 105 3rd Ave. South that used to house equipment sales and manufacturing. The two story, 13,122 sq. ft. structure was originally built in 1910.

Originally built in 1890 as warehousing/retail space near the riverfront, the two story, 20,494 sq. ft. building at 120 South Third Ave. recently had a third story added, and is now home to the FGL House restaurant/bar.

 

THE FGL HOUSE IS AN ABOMINATION

Fixed that for you.

For the life of me I guess the historic commission is an enigma wrapped inside a riddle and I just cant figure them out. These folks are the biggest idiots and hypocrites I have ever see.

They allow all of the older buildings downtown to be bastardized  but allow treasures to be demolished. They just need to throw the guild lines out the door. Many of the building along Broadway, Second and Third now have additional floors with modern material. What is the use in having Historic overlays when Metro cheats at their own game.

If you try this in one of the historic neighborhoods you are fined and ostracized.

I must be in a bad mode. Everything is making me mad. Guess I am too jaded now.

6th & Peabody will be the name of the Yee-Haw Brewing Company's tap room, eatery, and distillery at 423 Sixth Ave. South (the one-time Madison Smith auto dealership).  Originally built in 1950, the 14,411 sq. ft. brick warehouse will undergo a renovation costing $3.5 million.  It will also include a live music venue, and a small WMOT Americana Music broadcast space. 

This place will be packed with customers once all of the hotels in the area are open (there will be 19 within 4 blocks), plus MCC tourists, two large residential complexes (Sixth Ave. South and Olmstead within a block), and the One KVB Circle office tower next door.

thats a hell of a location for them!

Hopdoddy Burger will be opening in a week inside the 1925-era 2 story brick structure at 1805 21st Ave. South.  It has been home to several eateries/micro-breweries over the past several decades. 

[CenterHill]

Soooo glad to see this building renovated instead of torn down as we feared might happen when it changed hands.    The recessed sidewalk seating is a nice urban touch and looks like it was done tastefully.

Zanies Comedy Club has the been the tenant at 2025 8th Ave. South for over 30 years.  Originally built in 1924 as an auto garage.

Update on work for The Flamingo coffeeshop/cocktail bar (also featured on this thread June 15, 2017).  Located in the former Good Samaritan Missionary Church at 509 Houston Street in WeHo, this 4,666 sq. ft. structure was originally built in 1930.

While I'm happy this building is getting some better use (I always wondered how a used car lot that looks like it belongs in Leoma, Tennessee was in the middle of 12 South), I wish it was something other than yet another coffee shop. I can throw a football and hit like 3 other coffee shops around this one.

House: A Social Eatery is the latest tenant of the former home at 712 51st Ave. North in The Nations.  It was originally constructed in 1920, and has 2,661 sq. ft. of space.

Seeing what's going on with all The Dream Hotel and it's adjoining 6 restaurants/clubs, The Noelle Hotel refurbishment/addition, The Bobby Hotel, and The Fairlane Hotel along 4th Ave. North between Church and Union, I wanted to spotlight another grand old structure at 221 4th Ave. North.  The 3 story brick building has a massive 4,000 sq. ft. of space, and is the home to the Tennessee Law Center and Red's Barbershop among others.  Would like to see even more refurbishing (especially on the upper floors and the facade) to bring it into it's original glory.

Built in 1940, the two story brick building at 2905 Gallatin Pike has had many tenants over 77 years.  Currently it houses the Nicoletto's Italian Kitchen and the Bowery Vault vintage clothing store (back) in it's 4,063 sq. ft. of space.



 

[markhollin]

Built in 1901, the 26,1630 sq. ft., 3 story brick stalwart at 322 Broadway has housed many merchants, offices,  and restaurants over the pas century plus.  Currently it is home to Margaritaville Bar.

That building was home to The Alamo of Nashville (Cult leader Tony Alamo’s rhinestones crusted clothing store) and (briefly) Nashville’s outpost of Planet Hollywood. Alamo’s cult crafted couture was sold there at a time when furniture stores brought daytime customers to Lower Broad and peep shows and prostitutes brought in the clients of the evening. So much has changed in the last forty years down there!

The Pharmacy is a popular burger joint/bar that reimagined the one-time drug store at 731 McFerrin in East Nashville.  Originally built in 1962, the one story brick building has 2,270 sq. ft., and they added a large patio.
