HISTORIC PRESERVATION
We've needed to save the remaining historic Masonic buildings on the TBI Campus in D8 for a long time. The alarm sounded after Clint Camp noticed that the State of TN had placed $1.5M in the budget to demolish the buildings. With no public discussion. - Tim Walker from the Metro Nashville Historical Commission and I hosted an on-site visit April 29 with State Representative Bill Beck and State Rep. Brenda Gilmore to talk.
Action will be taken to request a reconsideration to take those same funds and move them toward stabilization efforts. Ultimate restoration and use of these amazing historic stone buildings can be realized only if they are saved from pending demolition.
Be watching for ways to have your voice heard on this with help from our friends at Historic Nashville
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

What's the Buzz:
- After further review from a lead engineer, regarding the Lemont Drive and Maplewood Lane 4-way stop request, due to limited sight distance on Lemont Drive (the hill). The recommendation to make this a 4-way stop will be presented to the Traffic and Parking Commission in their May 9, 2016 meeting for approval . The 4-way stop will be installed after we receive approval from the commission.
Board of Zoning Appeals to Hear Case May 19th: Progress on the Old Hickory property located at 632 Old Hickory Blvd: "After careful planning, research, and personal beliefs, I believe this area would be greatly enhanced through the establishment of a full-service grooming/personal care center, as well as, a smoothie/coffee shop. This family-friendly venture would allow the Madison community to enjoy healthy beverages, socialize, network, and take advantage of certified barbering services. As you may be aware, the location has multiple entrances and is large enough to accommodate this unique business model. It is also projected to create 5-6 full-time employment opportunities." - Edward Gray, new owner of property,
- Development discussions on Curdwood, Walton Lane (both Walton Lanes South and North), Old Hickory Blvd, Hutson, Cash Lane, Gallatin, Cheron, Briarville, Due West and Dickerson. - Community Meetings as things move forward
