S. H. Kress & Co., Sarasota, FL

This beautiful Kress building is a well-known landmark in downtown Sarasota, Florida. It is on the National Registry. There is already ample information available about this architectural eye candy, so I will direct readers there:

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:
