    I had some business in Part IV Chancery, so my wife and I took a trip down to the Metro Courthouse…read more I worked there as a lad and, later, practiced law in those Halls of Justice from 1981 to 2003. Boy has the place changed since then!! We parked in the underground, multilevel parking garage. Totally new, this was a major improvement over the small, above-ground parking lot. An elevator took us to the outside level. The handicap ramps, which we had trouble finding, were hidden for aesthetic purposes. When we reached the doors, we were walking were Mayor Ben West met Diane Nash and thousands of demonstrators on 14 April, 1960. Their conversation was the beginning of the end of segregation in Nashville. Once inside, WPA murals decorated the walls of each side of the hall. The artist was supplied as part of Roosevelt's New Deal. We took an elevator to my destination. The brass trim decoration each elevator was Art Deco. More surprises when we reached the fourth floor. The entire area had been totally redone. The walls were bright and cheery. The hallway seemed more open than when I left it. As to the courtrooms, all Chancery Courts were still there. The Probate Court,where I clerked was still there. After my hearing, we went to the Snack Bar on the lowest floor. It too had been redone and now was mostly collection of vending machines, a thankful replacement. We then grabbed our gear and hurried home, past those two cast bronze fountains with their cooling spray. Now to rate the Nashville Metropolitan Courthouse. The front picnic area with its multilevel underground parking was light years of its predecessor. The interior,with its WPA murals and brass Art Deco decorations, was worth the price of admission. All the metal detector operators were- surprise- helpful and friendly. The walls of the fourth floor were bright & cheery and the Chancellor's courtroom was was totally up to date. What's not to like about the courthouse? Five stars for the Historic 1935 Nashville Courthouse,

    Our beautiful historic courthouse is a lovely element of functional history and civic pride.read more

    4.5 Stars On our…read morelast day in Nashville, my brother and I spent time on the grounds of the Tennessee State Capitol. It was incorporated in a walk that took us from the Downtown Embassy Suites across from Music City Center to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. It was my second time seeing the Tennessee State Capitol Building on my vacation. The first was from the Gray Line Tour. The Tennessee State Capitol Building with the Capitol District added a different dimension to the Nashville vacation. Once we got to Union Street, even though we were less than a mile from Broadway, Music City USA seemed miles away. It felt like we were now in a city celebrating the state of Tennessee. We entered from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and 6th Avenue. The first thing I noticed is how high up it is. We climbed steps to enter the grounds. The Tennessee State Capitol Building is at the highest elevation in Downtown Nashville. It is remarkably noticeable from the Northside view along US 31/41, where it looks like it is on top of a small green mountain where a trail of steps carry people up. Not to be political (pardon the pun) the best spots to see The Tennessee State Capitol Building up close was from the east side. The second best spot to see it is from the north side either from US 31/41 or Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park where you get the awesome hill view. The Supreme Court Building blocks the west side. And during our visit, the reconstruction at Legislative Plaza prevented us from taking prime views at the south side. With that said we spent quality time on the east side. Being up on the higher elevation with mature trees, the weather felt better. When we ascended the southeast corner steps I took in the Alvin York statue. When we got to the top of the hill I took in the statue of President Andrew Jackson on his horse Cincinnati with the State Capitol behind it. Walking along the shaded walking paths, I took in the Tennessee Capitol Bell which is a replica of the Liberty Bell. Rising above Downtown Tennessee, my eyes took in a distant east view and past the Capitol an impressive view of Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park where we were headed next. I stopped to take in the pond. In the shadow of the State Capitol, my brother and I spent time on a bench overlooking the Tomb of President James Knox Polk and his wife Sarah. The majority of my attention was on the State Capitol Building. Designed by William Strickland, it was completed in 1859 when Tennessee decided that Nashville was going to be the state capitol. The architecture is Greek Revival. William Strickland based it on a Greek Iconic Temple. It stands 206.6 feet tall. It is one of twelve state capitols without a dome. While I was looking at it and taking pictures I was aware that the Tennessee State Senate and Governor could be behind the wall. I was certain that it was the second state capitol building that I spent time outside of (I also reviewed the Colorado State Capitol). Deciding to walk to the Tennessee State Capitol Building and ultimately Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park was a very good move. They added another dimension to the Nashville, Tennessee vacation where we got to celebrate the State of Tennessee. Being that this review focuses on the Tennessee State Capitol Building, I feel that my experience on its grounds admiring the beautiful Greek Revival architecture with the statues, mature trees, views, and burial spot of President James Knox Polk and his wife Sarah minus an inside tour makes it worthy of 4.5 stars

    PROS: this place is free and has friendly staff. It's clean, nice landscape on the outside, and…read morehistoric. CONS: doesn't show tour hours on website when they're 9-5 M-F and it's not as big as other capitols ive been in. Like Texas and Colorado OVERALL: I recommend seeing this capitol regardless of whether you're political or not. Just don't expect this one to be as lucrative as others
