HISTORIC NASHVILLE, INC,
ADDS 9 PROPERTIES
TO LIST OF MOST ENDANGERED HISTORIC PROPERTIES
The list is complied by Historic Nashville, Inc., a local nonprofit that works to promote public awareness of endangered historic sites and encourage preservation.
Three of the nine properties include:
Jackson House, 3500 Brick Church Pike in the Bordeaux area. This Victorian farm home was built around 1885, but the rear ell contains an earlier building, probably dating to the antebellum period. The home’s location near I-24 makes it a prime attraction to developers who want to subdivide the estate.
Charlotte Avenue Church of Christ, 4508 Charlotte Ave., was constructed in 1921, and is an example of 1920s Gothic Revival church architecture in Nashville. Due to changing demographics of the neighborhood, the congregation has vacated the building and is looking for a new use for their old church property.
 “Silverdene,” 931 Main Street in East Nashville. The home is a replica of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage mansion. The home has been used as a roadside “tourist inn” for automobile travelers along Gallatin Pike. The home was vacated a few years ago and recently seriously damaged by a fire. The property is currently on the market and threatened with demolition.
