This makes two buildings, this one and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, that Nashville has built recently using old architectural styles, and this makes two buildings that Nashville can be exceptionally proud of. I think this is further proof, along with the Schermerhorn, that if done correctly, old styles can be given new life today. Not everything has to look like a warped box.

"To sustain the life of a large, modern city in this cloying, clinging heat is an amazing achievement. It is no wonder that the white men and women in Greenville walk with a slow, dragging pride, as if they had taken up a challenge and intended to defy it without end." -- Rebecca West for The New Yorker, 1947
