State Capitol, Nashville, Tennessee - Vintage Postcard

State Capitol, Nashville, Tennessee
The grounds, purchased by the City of Nashville for $30,000, were presented to the State in December 1843, and are perhaps the most beautiful site for a capitol building in the world, being in the center of the city and 197 feet above the level of the Cumberland River. The cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1859. Wm. Strickland was the architect and is entombed in the wall of the northern portico. President James K Polk and his wife are buried in the grounds. A fine bronze statue of General Jackson adorns the grounds on the east side of Capitol.
