Frist TN Community Art Gallery, formerly Nashville Main Post Office
The former Nashville Main Post Office is an absolute gem of a building, fortunately preserved, and now utilized as the TN Community Art Gallery. Information about the building can be found on the Frist website, along with some virtual tours:

Both the exterior and interior of the building are a treasure trove of design features. I was informed that it barely escaped the wrecking ball!!! Enjoy:
