Extensively revised, a host of local landmarks are shown as they
once looked, alongside the same viewpoint photographed today
Originally known as Nashborough, Nashville was named as the capital
of Tennessee in 1843. The city's economic recovery after the Civil
War was slow, hampered by two major cholera epidemics. However, the
Centennial Exposition of 1897, for which a reproduction of the
Greek Parthenon was built, led to the city's gradual establishment
as one of the finest cities in the South. Although Nashville was
known as the home of the Maxwell House Coffee empire in the early
20th century, it was the Grand Ole Opry, established in 1925, that
turned the city into a major country music venue. Using some
extraordinary images from the city's past, paired with the same
views today, this book shows how the city has evolved into a
bright, modern city that is synonymous with country music.
