Gallatin Pike Historic District – Located in the Inglewood neighborhood in East Nashville, this proposed historic district is comprised of thirteen properties located on the west side of Gallatin Pike between Calvert Street and Virginia Avenue. Local real estate developers platted this particular residential subdivision in 1924 and over the next few years fashionable Tudor Revival and Craftsman-style homes lined Gallatin Pike, an important transportation corridor that shared the state-owned right-of-way with the city’s electric streetcars and an interurban route connecting to Gallatin. In recent years, the entire Gallatin Pike corridor in Davidson County has seen new commercial development, but perhaps none more Inglewood, which has lost several historic properties in recent years including the Albert L. Hadley House in July. The proposed Gallatin Pike Historic District retains a residential feeling and setting due to the number of mature trees and well-maintained lawns. Most of the private homes within the district have already been rezoned commercial and while some have been renovated and repurposed for use as businesses such law and real estate firms. However, recently several of these properties have been listed for sale, undoubtedly due to increased values of commercial property in Inglewood. HNI commends the Inglewood Neighborhood Association for spearheading the recent effort to identify threatened historic properties, including this district. HNI also encourages individual property owners along the Inglewood section of Gallatin Pike to discuss alternatives to with government agency and elected officials.
