Description

As I mentioned in my first Nashville post, lots of trains run through the town, and I could see them from our hotel windows. That is our hotel, the old train station that was restored into a wonderful place. You can't tell from this angle but it sits on a high point in town, great views and a prominent building in this area of town. Our room was the third set of two arched windows from the left, just below the roof line and in line with the clock tower. I'll show you that clock at night in another post.


Here are a few fun facts from the hotel's web site:

- Heavy-stone Richardsonian-Romanesque design
- Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977
- Construction began on Aug. 1, 1898
- Station officially opened on Oct. 9, 1900
- Officially opened as a hotel in December 1986
- Re-dedicated on October 9, 2007 after an $11 million dollar renovation
