Building Music City: Foster & Creighton's Nashville in the Making

Building Music City: Foster & Creighton's Nashville in the Making

March 23, 2025 12:00 AM
Main Library, Metro Archives
When you hear the words "Nashville landmarks," what comes to mind? Chances are, it’s the work of Foster & Creighton Construction Company, a major force in the city’s growth throughout the 20th century. Their projects helped shape many of Nashville’s iconic buildings and infrastructure. In honor of the 100th anniversary of many of these structures, an exhibit showcasing the company's business records and photographs is currently on display in the Metro Archives' West Reading Room.
