Nashville and Chattanooga

You're getting Nashville and Chattanooga confused. Both have former L&N
Stations that are now hotels, but they are as different as night and day.
Nashville Union Station was designed by the architect Richard Monfort who
worked for the Chief Engineer (who gets the credit, although he was the
force behind the station).  Not all architects are members of AIA, which
wasn't around when this was built anyway.

As far as I know, the trainsheds at Nashville are now gone.

> Train Depot Relocation Steams Ahead in Loris
>
> Feb. 9--LORIS -- Even though it's been slow going, the relocation of the
> city's train depot to the down town area is on track, organizers said.
> Nearly two years ago, Loris Civitan Club members organized to move the
> historical depot to a central location in town and restore it as a museum.
> The land was secured through a lease with the city and the depot donated
by
> its current owner from his tobacco, soybean and corn farm just outside of
> town.
>
> No outward visible signs of the progress are available, but Frank
McIntosh,
> club co-chairman of the committee to restore the depot, said drawings for
> the site plan are nearly complete.
>
> "It's moving along silently and with behind-the-scenes-type stuff,"
McIntosh
> said.
>
> "Before we can really move that thing, we have to have a site plan. We'll
> have to build a foundation first; and before we can build the foundation,
we
> have to know what the building is going to look like." The building will
be
> moved to a plot near City Hall, and the project joins the ranks of other
> depot renovation projects including one in Myrtle Beach where organizers
> restored the 1937 city depot.
>
> S.F. Horton, a charter member of the Loris Civitan Club, donated the depot
> after club members voted in April 2003 to build a city museum and decided
> the old depot building would be perfect to house it. At that time, Horton
> said he bought the building soon after purchasing his farm in 1952. He
paid
> $400 for the building and $400 for it to be moved to his farm off Red
Bluff
> Road.
>
> Some officials think the depot was built in the early 1900s, probably
about
> the time Loris incorporated in 1902 and was often called the Gate City,
> which referred to its being the first town on the railroad south of North
> Carolina.
>
> "We are doing it to give a focal point for Loris and to give people a
reason
> to come and visit Loris," said Joyce Sammons, club president. "We are also
> doing it for our community, our children this our heritage." Officials
hope
> to move the depot later this year, but that will take much coordination to
> lower electricity, telephone and cable lines to bring the building into
> town.
>
> "There's a lot more to moving a building than people would think,"
McIntosh

>
> "What we really need is some money," he said.

> A few years back I taught a class in Nashville, TN. This state  capital
may

> the former L&N  station, a grand old stone building, is now a hotel.  You
sign in at what I  assume used to be the ticket counter and the last train
schedule  board is still in place.  But the surprising thing is that the
architect for this

the
> L&N!  And below the State Capitol is a WWII memorial mall across one end
of  which was built one of the most esthetic railroad bridges that I've ever
seen.  It is double  tracked and is used by CSX.  The mall also features a
huge granite  model of the Earth.  It floats on a film of water and can be
moved by hand.  Note also the map of Tennessee with all of the rivers and
some of the railroads shown.
> So there are two points of interest to see in Nashville besides the Grand
Ole  Opry!  But do not expect to go there by train!
