1102 Grundy St. in the North Gulch is a warehouse that was built in 1951 covering 24,500 sq. ft. over a single floor.  It has been reimagined as Pins Mechanical Company and 16 Bit-Bar. It has been expanded by 6,000 sq. ft. Between the 2 attractions, there are 40 classic arcade games, 16 lanes of duckpin bowling, 20 pinball machines, bocce ball, Connect Four, and Giant Jenga.  There are also 24 taps at each, pull-in slots for food trucks.  The complex had its official opening on oct. 28th.

Looks like a great spot and should see plenty of traffic!

Problem right now is they are going to be surrounded by construction for the next few years. Asuiron across the street, Edition next door, what ever goes where the Valley Arts building is after it is torn down , NES power station on the other side of them, and what ever goes where the Tennessean building is.

Literally surrounded by construction.

Hunters Station restaurant campus (9 eateries/bars at 969-975 Main St. on 1.1 acre) at the NE corner of Main St. and North 10th Ave. in East Nashville is now partially open. There will also be  3 or 4 AirBnB apts. on the 2nd level of the main building. The structures on site originally covered 22,000 sq. ft, and were built in 1976, originally home to Hunter's Automotive Repair.  Some space has been added. Three more restaurants will make their debut in the western building soon.

That looks amazing.   Can't wait to visit.  

The Picnic Tap in Farmer's Mkt is a gem.    Glad to see them opening another location.

I think Nashville has done an excellent job keeping many of your historical buildings.  2nd Street and of course Broadway where the mega bars are but 2nd Street is really a great street.  Here are a couple I saw briskly walking around today.   Last photo what is the story with that single story building and what is going there?

That's the big question about that site and the adjacent 2 parcels (behind and beside). The property behind it was slated for a House of Blues a few years back. The parcel next door was slated for a boutique hotel.  Neither has happened. So nobody knows what's in the offing now. Speculation is that all three properties will be combined in something similar to the Moxy. Maybe a bigger House of Blues, which would do great there.

3305 West End Ave. covers 4,958 sq. ft. on its 3 floors, and was built in 1915. It has been home to J. Michaels Clothier for decades.

1021 Russell St. is a bit of a mystery.  I've had difficulty finding many details on it.  I believe the 2 story structure with 4 story steeple was originally built in the 1930s.  It currently houses the YMCA Fun Company and a church.

1110 Woodland St.  covers 3.331 sq. ft. over its 2 stories, and was built in 1915.  It currently houses Wonders on Woodland store.

^ This little building has been many things over the years, but I'll always think of it as SATCO's first home.

Belmont University Mansion (originally known as Belle Monte, was built in 1853 on a 180 acre estate of Joseph and Adelcia Acklen as an Italian villa-style  summer home. Eventually it became the main building for Belmont University, and still has some administrative offices to this day, as well as being a museum.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places starting in 1971.

Happy to report that 311 22nd Ave. North (3 stories, 5,500 sq. ft., built in 1935) is going to remain.  Was just sold for $1.75 million to Alexander Shunnarah & Assoc. law firm, and they plan to move their offices into the elegant home. The previous owner had purchased the structure in 1989 for $315,000.

Nice feature in Nashville Post Magazine by William Williams on how many older church structures are being converted to other uses. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least  23 church structures that have been saved and repurposed just in Davidson County alone.  I'm sure there are more.
