Asbury United Methodist Church (Knoxville, Tennessee)

Asbury United Methodist Church, formerly known as Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is a historic church in Knoxville, Tennessee. History The church is named for English Methodist evangelist Francis Asbury, who is credited with disseminating Methodism in the United States in late 18th and early 19th centuries, and who on November 2, 1800, led the first Methodist worship service in East Tennessee. The church sits on land that was donated in 1855 by the Huffaker family. The church building underwent its last major renovation in 1898. The Gothic revival architecture has been largely unaltered since that time. Subsequent additions include a backlighted painting of Jesus; an organ, piano, and chimes; a parsonage and Sunday school built in 1938; and a fellowship hall built in 1949. The Methodist Church in America divided over the issue of slavery in 1845. For many years before the 1939 merger that formed the United Methodist Church, two separate Methodist groups held services in the Asbury church, with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, meeting for worship in the morning on Sunday and the Methodist Episcopal Church meeting in the afternoon. National Register listing The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The National Register nomination referred to the "inspirational feeling" imparted by the Gothic revival architecture, the "sense of power" imparted by the church's steep gabled roof and pronounced arches, and the "sense of strength and stability" conveyed by the square bell tower, which has a bellcast roof.

Ayres Hall

Ayres Hall is a central iconic and historic landmark building at the University of Tennessee (UT) in Knoxville, Tennessee. The building was designed by Miller, Fullenwider and Dowling of Chicago, and completed in 1921. It is named for Brown Ayres (1856–1919), the university's 12th president from 1904 to 1909. An extensive restoration began in the fall of 2008 and ended in January 2011. The renovations included central air conditioning and heating, terrazzo floors and benches, faces for the tower's four clocks, refurbished classroom furnishings, such as chairs, tables, and slate chalkboards, and stairways, and a north courtyard. The faces for the clocks and the terrazzo floors were in the original designs, but had never been installed due to costs. The north courtyard, which faces Cumberland Avenue, was never implemented in the original designs. The Gothic Revival structure rises 140 feet (43 m) above its base. The distinctive checkerboard feature at the top of the tower has been replicated in UT Orange and white in the endzones at Neyland Stadium and at the ends of the court in Thompson–Boling Arena, both nearby. The building houses the offices of the university's College of Arts and Sciences as well as UT's mathematics department.

Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge

The Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge, formerly known as Gateway Bridge, is a vehicular bridge that carries Korean Veterans Boulevard over the Cumberland River in Nashville, within the U.S. state of Tennessee. History The idea of building the Gateway Bridge was conceived in 1996, as a way to turn the 1909 Shelby Street Bridge into a pedestrian bridge. The Shelby Street Bridge had later been renamed the Korean War Veterans of Tennessee Memorial Bridge, and a commemorative plaque was installed. In 1998, the Shelby Street Bridge was closed to traffic. When it was reopened as the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in 2003, the memorial plaque had been removed. Construction on the Gateway Bridge began in 2001, and it was completed in 2004. It was built by Ray Bell Construction. In 2006, it was renamed in honor of veterans of the Korean War. The bridge was renovated with light-emitting diodes by Domingo Gonzalez Associates in 2016 The city of Nashville currently uses the LED display to celebrate popular holidays, such as Christmas, Martin Luther King Day, Veteran’s Day, among others. Residents of Davidson County can also submit a request for what colors will appear on the bridge. The bridge is prominently featured as part of the Nashville Street Circuit. It is one of the few large bridges to be used on a street circuit anywhere in the world. Gallery References
Belcourt Theatre

The Belcourt Theatre is a nonprofit film center located in Nashville's Hillsboro Village district. History The theater was opened in 1925 as the Hillsboro Theatre by M.A. Lightman Sr. of Malco Theatres and his father Joseph Lightman. It was a silent movie house, boasting the most modern projection equipment and the largest stage in the city. The first film shown was America by D. W. Griffith. As the community grew, the Belcourt adapted to the new needs of the neighborhood by providing a regular home for two highly successful performance groups. Nashville Children's Theatre, the longest running children's theatre of its kind, and the venerable Grand Ole Opry both shared the Belcourt stage during the 1930s. The Opry's tenure from 1934 to 1936 shaped the format the radio show still uses today. Due to the intimate size of the room, the Opry began playing each show to two separate audiences. Performers found themselves playing two 15-minute performances rather than the single half-hour performance to which they were accustomed. In November 2007, the theatre was purchased by a nonprofit coalition of local arts activists (operating as "Belcourt Theatre Inc.") for $1.4 million. In September 2015, the Belcourt Campaign was announced to renovate the theatre. On December 24 of that same year, the theatre was closed for renovation, and it reopened on July 22, 2016. Today Its programming spans first-run (new releases) independent and documentary films (both U.S.-made and international) and repertory classics. Its concession stand includes classic movie snacks, locally made baked goods and items like tamales and empanadas, and a full bar (including wine on tap and local craft/draft beers). The Belcourt also has an active education and engagement program, sharing films with young people throughout Middle Tennessee via its Mobile Movie Theatre and frequently hosting post-screening discussions with filmmakers, issue experts, and other special guests. The Belcourt reopened in July 2016 after undergoing seven months of renovations. The renovation increased the theatre's square-footage to include a new small screening room, classroom space for film education and outreach, an elevator, and larger fully accessible restrooms. The Belcourt is currently home to one of the largest paintings by noted painter Harry Underwood. The 4'x6' painting, Landmark Preservation, is a commentary on the uncertainty created when rapidly developing cities start to demolish historical buildings in order to make room for new construction.

We also have the opportunity to offer small animal and veterinary science. We do not have any way to have animals. That will be our primary focus with this property. However, that property does have some woods that enable us to have forestry, have a wildlife curriculum to expand for students of our school."

Diamond Island (Tennessee)

Diamond Island is a river island on the Tennessee River in Hardin County, Tennessee. Diamond Island was so named on account of its diamond shape. Diamond Island was purchased jointly by William Albert Warren and his brother Joshua Warren in 1851 Hardin County historian, David Cagle reports: "Sarah Thomas called me with information re Diamond Island. When TVA was surveying this property in 1938, a local resident, Will Hinton informed TVA that Warren Cemetery was located on the Island. The only grave mentioned was that of Mrs. (William) Al Warren. I guess that could be either of his wives?" Mr. Cagle also surmises that William Albert Warren, who died ~1865, is also buried on the Island as well. As recent as 1940, the TVA maps indicated a barn on the island. Probably not an original structure, but it was probably built in the general area of the original residence. References
