The Parthenon- Nashville
Originally built for Tennessee's 1897 Centennial Exposition, this replica of the original Parthenon in Athens serves as a monument to what is considered the pinnacle of classical architecture. The plaster replicas of the Parthenon Marbles found in the Naos are direct casts of the original sculptures which adorned the pediments of the Athenian Parthenon, dating back to 438 B.C. The originals of these powerful fragments are housed in the British Museum in London. Aug 2009

Castle Gwynn
Castle Gwynn now has two copper dome roofs. This second roof weighs over 12 tons and is comprised of an all hand-constructed timber frame with copper sheeting. The roof was built entirely in a true 16th Century manner: no nails were used at all, rather the joints were fastened with wooden pegs

Union Station
Nashville's Union Station is a former railroad terminal opened in 1900 to serve the passenger operations of the eight railroads then providing passenger service to Nashville, Tennessee.
The tower was originally topped by a bronze statue of the Roman god Mercury; this was toppled in a storm in 1951.
By the mid-1990s they had restored Mercury to his place atop the tower, albeit in a two-dimensional form painted in trompe l'oeil style to replicate the original. This was destroyed in the 1998 downtown Nashville tornado but was soon replaced.
