Since 1973, the Metropolitan Historical Commission has honored projects that help preserve Nashville’s historic architecture. Timed with National Preservation Month, this year’s Preservation Awards recognized work across residential, commercial, and educational/institutional spaces.
Commercial
Neuhoff Curve Building
This Neuhoff District building honors its past by reusing windows and structural elements from the early 1900s Neuhoff Packing Plant. Close Company (more on this below) and Charmers & Cauponors are among its future tenants.
May Hosiery Mills
Spanning multiple buildings in Wedgewood-Houston, this former sock factory was restored and adapted in 2021 after years of limited use. The original wood floors remain, while new businesses like Soho House and Pastis bring fresh life to the historic site.

Educational-Institutional
Sevier Park’s Sunnyside building
Built in 1852 with log structures dating to the 1820s, Sunnyside recently underwent a major restoration. The updates preserved original features and added public restrooms, parking, and a cafe space.
