Stix (public art installation)

Stix is a public art installation or sculpture at Korean Veterans Boulevard and 8th Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee. It was designed by Christian Moeller, and erroneously reported to be an homage to the Native Americans who owned the land prior to European settlers. "Actually, that was not my original intent. The only reference to Native American art I made was showing an image of a beautiful totem pole at an early stage of the project development. I did this in order to give an example of how the colors I proposed to use would contrast with the grayish, silver patina that the wooden poles would develop over time," said Moeller. Its construction cost $750,000, making it the "most expensive" public art installation in Nashville. According to Nashville Public Radio, its cost and name turned it into "a magnet for skepticism" prior to its dedication in 2015. In March 2018, a car crashed into the installation. The original design called for 35 poles standing 85 feet high and each pole tip was to be covered with a custom-made “LED lightcap” to emit a light glow at nighttime. The design was later revised to reduce the number to 27 poles at a height of 70 feet tall and to eliminate the lightcaps. References
Moore County Courthouse and Jail (Tennessee)

The Moore County Courthouse and Jail is a historic building complex in Lynchburg, Tennessee. It includes both the jail and the courthouse for Moore County, Tennessee. Designed in the Italianate architectural style, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History The county jail was built on land owned by Colonel John M. Hughes, a veteran of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865. Its construction was completed in 1876, only five years after the establishment of Moore County. The construction team was Bobo and Stegall. Between 1872 and 1880, the Grand Central Hotel owned by Dr. E Y. Salmon, another Confederate veteran who served as the county clerk/master, was the de facto county courthouse. Other meeting places included a church and a school in Lynchburg. Construction on the county courthouse across the square from the jail began in 1884, and it was completed within a year. The builder was S.L.P. Garrett. Architectural significance The jail was designed with a gablet roof, and the courthouse was designed in the Italianate architectural style. They have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 26, 1979. References

J. Percy Priest Dam

J. Percy Priest Dam is a dam in north central Tennessee at river mile 6.8 of the Stones River, a tributary of the Cumberland. It is located about ten miles (16 km) east of downtown Nashville. The reservoir behind the dam is Percy Priest Lake. It is one of four major flood control reservoirs for the Cumberland; the others being Wolf Creek Dam, Dale Hollow Dam, and Center Hill Dam. The Flood Control Act of 1946 commissioned the construction of a project under the name “Stewarts Ferry Reservoir”. Public Law 85-496, approved July 2, 1958, changed the name to J. Percy Priest in honor of the late Congressman from Tennessee. Construction began June 2, 1963 and the dam was completed in 1968. The dam was built under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers supervision. In 1979 the dam was bombed with dynamite as ruse to cover a crime spree supposed to have taken place in the resultant massive flooding. The conspirators succeeded only in destroying some iron doors at the dam's base. The suspects were later convicted and sentenced to substantial prison terms. Rising 130 feet (40 m) above the streambed, the combination earth and concrete-gravity dam is 2,716 feet (828 m) long with a hydroelectric power plant generating 28 MW of electrical power. The dam has contributed significantly in reducing the frequency and severity of flooding in the Cumberland Valley. In addition to the far-reaching effects of flood control, the project contributes to the available electric power supply of the area. The dam is easily visible from Interstate 40 where it crosses the Stones River. The completion of the dam in 1967 resulted in the destruction of the last known population of the freshwater mussel Epioblasma lenior, which is now extinct. Reservoir Elevation (behind the dam) (elevations are in feet above sea level) 504.50 ft The dam can hold flood waters up to this level 494.50 ft Elm Hill Marina begins to flood by surpassing the individual walkways to the boat docks 494.50 ft Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina begins to flood by surpassing the primary walkway to the sailboat docks 490.00 ft Summer Pool (April to October) 483.00 ft Winter Pool (November to March) 480.00 ft Permanent Pool Hourly discharge The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) reports all discharge information online viewable to the public. Current elevations and hourly discharge information can be found at: www.tva.gov/lakes/jph_o.htm It has been found that if J Percy Priest dam is discharging up to 9,000 cu ft/s (250 m3/s) it takes about 28 hours for the reservoir elevation to recede 1-foot (0.30 m). Electricity from the dam is marketed by the Southeastern Power Administration.

Barrage J. Percy Priest

Le barrage J. Percy Priest est un barrage situé dans le centre-nord du Tennessee, au mile 6,8 de la rivière Stones, un affluent de la rivière Cumberland. Il est situé à une dizaine de milles (16 km) à l'est du centre-ville de Nashville. Le réservoir derrière le barrage forme le Lac Percy Priest. C'est l'un des quatre principaux réservoirs de contrôle des crues du bassin de Cumberland ; les autres étant le barrage de Wolf Creek, le barrage de Dale Hollow et le barrage de Centre Hill. S'élevant à 130 pieds (40 m) au-dessus du lit du cours d'eau, le barrage combine une levée en terre et un élément béton-poids ; il mesure 2 716 pieds (828 m) de long et alimente une centrale hydroélectrique générant 28 MW d'énergie électrique. Il a contribué à diminuer significativement la fréquence et la gravité des inondations de la vallée de Cumberland. Le barrage est visible depuis l'Interstate 40, là où elle traverse la rivière Stones. Histoire En 1946, une loi sur le contrôle des inondations impose la construction d'un projet, alors baptisé « Stewarts Ferry Reservoir ». Une autre loi (85-496, votée le 2 juillet 1958), a changé ce nom en J. Percy Priest en hommage à un membre du Congrès du Tennessee décédé. La construction, faite sous la supervision du Corps des ingénieurs de l’armée américaine, entamée le 2 juin 1963, s'est achevée 5 ans plus tard, en 1968. En 1979, le barrage a été attaqué à la dynamite, un acte qui visait en réalité à dissimuler une série de crimes, par les inondations massives qui en auraient résulté. Les conspirateurs n'ont réussi qu'à détruire quelques portes métalliques à la base du barrage. Les suspects ont ensuite été reconnus coupables et condamnés à de lourdes peines de prison. Impacts environnementaux Parmi d'autres impacts environnementaux, l'achèvement du barrage en 1967 a entraîné la destruction de la dernière population connue de moule d'eau douce Epioblasma lenior, depuis considérée comme éteinte. Décharge horaire La Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) publie en ligne toutes les informations sur tous ses rejets. Les altitudes actuelles et les informations sur le débit horaire peuvent être consultées sur son site internet. Bien que le barrage J. Percy Priest rejette jusqu'à 9 000 cu ft/s (250 m3/s), il faut environ 28 heures pour que l'élévation du réservoir recule de 1 pied (30,48 cm). L'électricité produite par le barrage est mise sur le marché par la Southeastern Power Administration.

James Lee House (690 Adams Avenue, Memphis)

The James Lee House, also known as the Harsson-Goyer-Lee House, is a historic house at 690 Adams Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, together with the adjacent Woodruff-Fontaine House. The two houses are included in the Victorian Village historic district. The 8,100-square-foot home was constructed by William Harsson in 1848. Harsson's daughter, Laura, married Charles Wesley Goyer, who bought the house in 1852. Goyer had it expanded by the architecture firm of Edward Culliatt Jones and Matthias H. Baldwin in 1871, after seeing their work in designing the neighboring Woodruff-Fontaine House. James Lee, a riverboat captain who had been educated at Princeton University, bought the house in 1890. In 1925 it became the James Lee Memorial Art Academy, a predecessor of the Memphis College of Art (formerly the Memphis Academy of Art). The city of Memphis took ownership in 1929. After the art school moved to a new location in 1959, the house was vacant for many years. It was used by Canadian indie rock group Tokyo Police Club in a music video for their 2008 song "In a Cave." In 2012 the empty house was purchased by new private owners. The following year, a $2 million construction and renovation project began, converting the house into a luxury bed and breakfast. The city of Memphis provided a property tax abatement to encourage its renovation. The bed and breakfast opened for business in April 2014. References External links Official website
John Gordon House

The John Gordon House is a historic brick home located along the Old Natchez Trace near Williamsport, Tennessee, within the boundaries of the Natchez Trace Parkway, a National Park Service unit. History The house was built in 1818. It is one of only two remaining structures from the early history of the Natchez Trace located along the Natchez Trace Parkway. It was built by John Gordon and his wife Dolly, the main house of a plantation that included 1500 acres, a ferry over the Duck River and a trading post. The land was originally located in Chickasaw territory when Gordon acquired it. The National Park Service acquired the Gordon House and surrounding property in 1973. In 1974, the home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The exterior of the house has been restored to its 1818 appearance. References
Jubilee Hall (Fisk University)

Jubilee Hall is the oldest academic building on the campus of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Completed in 1876, it was the university's first permanent building, and is a good local example of Gothic Revival architecture. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974, in recognition of the university's place as one of the first historically black colleges and universities to be established after the American Civil War. It presently serves as an undergraduate residence hall. In 2017 the Tennessee Historical Commission installed a marker honoring the Fisk Jubilee Singers, whose 1870s European tour raised the funds to pay for the building's construction. Description and history Jubilee Hall is located on the Northern side of the Fisk University Campus, on a loop drive at the Northern end of 17th Avenue North at Meharry Boulevard. It is a large L-shaped masonry building, six stories in height, with a hip roof adorned with gabled dormers and projections. Its main facade is divided into a central section and slightly projecting end sections, with a tower rising at the junction of the center and right sections. The tower rises to an open octagonal belfry and steeple, all adorned with Gothic spires. Windows are generally set in segmented-arch openings, either singly or pairwise, with arched stone lintels. The main roof cornice has decorative brick corbelling. Fisk University was founded in 1865 through the efforts of the antislavery American Missionary Association, and was named for Clinton B. Fisk. The school was qualitatively different from other schools, in that it was designed from the outset to provide a full liberal arts education to its African-American students. In 1871, the financially troubled school raised funds to build Jubilee Hall by sending the Fisk Jubilee Singers in their first Europe singing tour in 1873. Jubilee Hall was built in 1873-76 with proceeds from the tour. It was designed by New York architect Stephen D. Hatch. Although its exterior is little changed, the interior has been completely modernized to provide dormitory facilities. It also houses a floor-to-ceiling portrait of the original Jubilee Singers that was given to the university by Queen Victoria during the 1873 tour.
