Description

I want to show this view of the hotel as it was what we saw at the end of every day. This is the front of the hotel, where guests enter the lobby. That is the top of the door at the bottom, center. It's about a 10 minute walk up Broadway from the downtown area back to the hotel - uphill, after a night of drinks and music in the honky-tonks, doing hand-held work all the way to the top of the hill.


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

Long before it was a historic hotel, Nashville, TN Union Station was a key center in America's economy and culture. Opening on Oct. 9, 1900, to great fanfare, the building's imposing Gothic design, featuring lofty turrets and towers it was a testament to U.S. ingenuity and energy. During railroading's glory years, the station saw characters such as movie starlet Mae West and Mafia kingpin Al Capone, who was escorted through here on his way to Georgia penitentiary.
