Friendship Community Outreach Center
1703 Jo Johnston Ave.
(Across from Peal-Cohn HS)

This is the first Historic Nashville, Inc. property we started out to paint several weeks ago.  (Since they were in the process of installing a new roof, we moved on to another location.)

Friendship Community Outreach Center – Located in North Nashville at 1703 Jo Johnston Avenue across the street from Pearl-Cohn High School, this c.1900 church building has served the surrounding neighborhood in numerous capacities for the past century. Reflective of the changing racial makeup of the surrounding neighborhood, the church has served both white and African-American congregations. In recent years, the church was converted into the Friendship Community Outreach Center. A few years ago, HNI documented this church as part of its county-wide Sacred Sites Survey Project. HNI encourages the property owner to sell this neighborhood landmark to an organization that will be able to properly renovate and maintain the church.

If we find this Center to still be under construction, we will be moving to:
Iser-Bloomstein House/Workmen's Circle Hall
521 5th Ave., South (Between Peabody & Lea)
(From Lafayette St. - 5th is one-way going North)

Happy Painting!
