A corner of the ceiling of the front entry.
When the building was being refurbished into an art museum there was a lot of cleaning needed. When workers were cleaning the ceiling they found stars. The stars had been hidden from years of coal smoke from the old furnace.
The original lobby tables from the post office are still in place. The beautiful granite tables are accented with decorative metalwork. This is a view from the underside of the table.
This is a side view of one of the table legs. I really like the detailing coupled with the flag in the background.
More ceiling stars in sepia tones. The original colors are navy or black and white.
Standing under the stairs in the stairwell. I really like this shot.
An outside window of the Frist.
This star is on the base of the flag pole at the Frist Center.
The decorative bars on the post office windows on the lower level. You can see Union Station in the reflection.
One of the patio areas at the back entrance of the Frist. This is just outside of the cafe.
This is the covered patio. I've enjoyed several meals at these tables.
This was taken near the covered patio area at the Frist Center. The marble ledge gives a beautiful reflection of Union Station.
The back porch of Union Station.
A close shot on the back porch.
The back staircase leading from the porch to the old train yard and current parking lot.
A corner view from Broadway. Notice the archways on the bottom level - they are below street level.
The stained glass windows are exquisite.
More than the stained glass I enjoy the iron scrollwork all around Union Station. I couldn't decide which of the next two photos I liked best so I decided to post both.
The lower level archways. You can see the bridgeway in the background that leads from valet parking to the entrance.
Finally, the Batman Building. Okay, it's really the AT&T building (formerly BellSouth) but we all know it by its obvious knickname.
This shot is from Union Station. It's funny how short the building looks from this angle. It sure doesn't look like the tallest building in TN.

You truly have a gift when it comes to photography. What an eye.
What cool pictures! Amazing how I never saw the Frist center or Union Station all the time I lived in Nashville! They should hire you to take pictures for their website. :)
