HISTORIC PRESERVATION

I'm reaching out to Historic Nashville, Inc. to help keep Starday Sound Studios from continued neglect. 3557 Dickerson Road Madison, Tennessee.
Also - Meeting with Nashville Historic Commission and Rep. Brenda Gilmore about The Home for Aged Masons on the TBI grounds off Hart Lane.
Nashville Scene Dec 209: The state controls the fate of some other endangered sites, such as The Home for Aged Masons (R.S. Gass Boulevard off Hart Lane in Inglewood), a three-story Colonial Revival-style building constructed in 1913-1915. It and the nearby Boys' School, built around 1915, are the only surviving buildings from a larger complex dating to the early 20th century. The Tennessee Masons provided the campus as a home for widows, orphans and the aged, according to Historic Nashville, which placed these properties on its list.
Designed by the Nashville architectural firm of Asmus & Norton, who designed the Cathedral of the Incarnation on West End, the columned limestone building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It sits now on an office-building campus that houses the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and other state agencies. Purchased by the State of Tennessee in 1941 for use as a tuberculosis hospital, the property was vacated in the 1990s

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

District 8 business, Rains Electric  completed the installation of the Metro Nashville Arts Commission Public Art Project, Stix by Christian Moeller.  They began carefully placing the 27 colorful 85-foot-long poles in October 2015 at the Korean Veterans Boulevard roundabout after four weeks drilling 15 feet, mostly through limestone.  It's an homage to Native Americans who originally inhabited the area. The poles are made of native wood and the ground below will grow native grasses.And at night, the piece will glow with LED lights.
