The top picture at West End and Natchez (Colony Cleaners) was my grandfathers business. I remember going there as a kid and riding the conveyor belt. They eventually moved to where Starbucks in Green Hills is now. I wish they still owned the land. I've been reading this forum probably ever since it came on line, and enjoy everyone's posts. I probably can't offer much more than "I like that", or "that's ugly", but I'll keep looking. Welcome College_groove!! Glad to have you. I always enjoy stories from longtime Nashvillians. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post downtownresident Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 The highest “publicly” accessible floor is a sort of open observation area that could easily be staged for events. I put publicly accessible in quotes as you have to get past AT&T security. I worked for AT&T at the time, and got a chance to go up. Here are a few photos from when I was up there, about four and a half years ago.

I'm picturing about a thousand men in those shirts with black horizontal stripes and twirly mustaches standing on each others' shoulders to get that shot, Barnum and Bailey style! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BnaBreaker Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Thank you @markhollin for posting that map by the way. I could look at that all day long! Is the large blue industrial building in Germantown (#70 listed as the TN manufacturing co.) part of the Werthan Mills residential development, or was Werthan Mills a different building altogether?

Is the large blue industrial building in Germantown (#70 listed as the TN manufacturing co.) part of the Werthan Mills residential development, or was Werthan Mills a different building altogether? You're welcome. Yes, I believe that is Werthan Mills in G-Town. Also fascinating to see that there was a lot of industrial (including a half round house train switching station) just to the east of Ft. Negley in the area where May Hosiery/Nashville Warehouse Company is now. Also, all the factories along the CSX train lines from Marathon Village westward. And the large concentration of mills on the East Bank. If you're able to expand the shot, the key at the bottom helps explain what a lot of the larger businesses, schools, etc. are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
