Name your top 5 repurposed historical structures in Nashville:

Here are mine.

1. Ryman Auditorium.  Hard to beat, just for the acoustics and world-renown.   A gem.

2. Marathon Motorworks.  One of the coolest looking "Nashville-type" structures...and a great re-use.

3. Downtown Post Office / Frist Art Museum.  They took a lovely old post office and made it even lovelier.  Doubt we would have gotten such a cool structure built for an art museum from scratch.

4. All of Lower Broadway.  The city could have easily allowed developers to come in a wipe out all of those 2-4 story buildings and put up high-rises.  Instead, we have a continually-evolving historic area in cool, old 19th century brick buildings that are a true piece of history for Nashville.

5. RCA Studio B.  Though it's still a working studio...it's really more of a tourist stop / history lesson.  Elvis, Willie, Chet Atkins, Everly Brothers, Dolly, Waylon,  and many more.

Bill Miller has done it again: The Johnny Cash Kitchen & Saloon at 121 Third Ave. South is fantastic.  The structure was built in 1920 and covers 15,447 sq. ft. over two floors. Miller has also done noteworthy restorations of old downtown buildings that contain the Johnny Cash Museum, Patsy Cline Museum, Nudie's Honkey Tonk, and House of Cards.  Later this year he will open the Sinatra Bar and Lounge in theTurf Building near Printers Alley.  He has a couple other ideas up his sleeve as well for other buildings he has purchased on 2nd  and 3rd Avenues.

Donelson’s historic  Belair Mansion is now officially open for business and operating as Belle Air Mansion.

“Belle Air Mansion is a historic and civic landmark about 5 ½ miles from downtown Nashville. Built in 1832, Belle Air is one of the few remaining Greek Revival antebellum mansions in Nashville.

Belle Air is significant because of its architecture. Representative of the great houses of the well-to-do Southern landowners in the first half of the nineteenth century, it remains as an example of these houses which once were abundant but have now mostly disappeared from the scene.

It was important that Belle Air be preserved for the benefit of those who might not otherwise be able to come in contact with such an example of architecture of the Old South. Many families prominent in the social and economic development of Nashville have either lived in or been entertained in Belle Air.

After a challenging but rewarding restoration process, we're excited to announce that Belle Air is almost ready to open to the public! The mansion has always been a private residence, but now it's been transformed into a bed and breakfast for visitors to enjoy.”

This one story commercial space is a great contrast from the new towers being built in the area. A historic revitalized building makes the development even better.

Not historical (built in 1976 originally), but nice to see the adaptive re-use of the factory/warehouse space at 2020 Lindell into Fort Houston.  The 20,760 sq. ft. space includes creative workshops and spaces, small retailers, and nightclubs.
