Miss Brill said:Winstead Hill? Carnton? Carter House? That crazy-looking spaceship house on Chickering Road? The movie theater downtown in Franklin?
Nashoba said:*GASP* She knows Franklin!!!!! I live in Spring Hill . I was planning on Rippavilla for sure maybe our little battlefield memorial thingy down here. I drove by Winstead yesterday and thought about adding it to the list too. That movie theater is in a desperate attempt to be saved actually. I need to go back up there and write down the website that's attempting to save it from destruction. It made me sad to see that.
I don't think I've seen that house, but then I don't think I've actually been down Chickering Road either.
I was also thinking about going up into the city to take pics at the Ryman, up and down Broadway, and to the Opryland Hotel....I don't think it will get to me in time to take pictures with santa though That would be fun. ohhhh the possibilities.....
It’s not such a Small World, after all
There‚Äôs something about the white landmark of a house rising out of the terraced hill at 1644 Chickering Road that makes you want to drive by again, just to be sure you saw correctly the first time. It could be the size: it is massive. Or the shape: it is triangular. Or the singularity: there is nothing like it among the conservative Georgian, Mediterranean and ranch-turned-Tudor architecture situated along the tony, wooded drive across from the entrance to Percy Warner Park. The gleaming paper football of a fa?ßade seems to hover over the rich green vista in a sublime ether of expensive lightscaping, as if it were just being projected onto the hill. If the lights were turned off some night, would it simply disappear? If so, a lot of people would be looking for the kill switch. Instead of columns, the untraditional house known as Small World has a black champagne glass of a turret in front and itty-bitty bubbles of windows bouncing across the fa?ßade. But kudos to Richard and Rhonda Small, who took an architectural risk on a majestic plot of land and created something to remark about and drive by‚Äîagain and again, just to be sure.
