The Nashville Steam Preservation Society received an endorsement of support from Nashville’s famed preservation advocate, Historic Nashville, Inc. Historic Nashville formed in 1968 to promote and preserve Nashville’s historic environment. They have been involved with the preservation and revitalization of several Nashville landmarks including the Ryman Auditorium, the Hermitage Hotel, the Shelby Street Bridge, and Union Station. Union Station, Nashville’s most iconic physical testament to the golden age of railroading, was saved in large part to the efforts of Historic Nashville, Inc. in the 1980s. Representatives of NSPS attended Historic Nashville’s release of their 2016 “Nashville Nine” list this past October. The list coincided with the grand reopening of Union Station Hotel following extensive renovations. An operable No. 576 will certainly add to this rich collection of preservation achievements in our great city.
“Historic Nashville, Inc. is proud to endorse this important and comprehensive project that will put an iconic historic artifact to use for the community’s benefit and enjoyment.” NSPS is proud to do our part to keep Nashville unique.
