Churches and Cathedrals in Lebanon

"The Downtown Presbyterian Church, also known as the Old First Presbyterian Church, opened its doors in 1848. It is the third church to occupy the site; the first was built in 1816. Designed by noted architect William Strickland, the twin-tower edifice is one of the few remaining examples of Egyptian Revival architecture in the country."

"With architecture modeled after a traditional Roman Basilica, the Cathedral of the Incarnation is the third Catholic cathedral constructed in Nashville. The primary architect for the building was Fred Asmus, and construction began in 1910 under the direction of Bishop Thomas Sebastian Byrne—Saint Martin’s on the Hill in Rome inspired the design. Construction of the building finished in 1914, and the church has since undergone two major renovations."

"Under the guidance of Bishop Thomas Sebastian Byrne, construction of the Cathedral of the Incarnation began in 1910 and finished in 1914. It’s the third cathedral to call downtown Nashville home. The design was the work of architect Fred Asmus, who was inspired by the traditional Italianate architecture of a famous Roman basilica."

"Construction on the Cathedral of the Incarnation began in 1907 and was completed in 1914. With Italianate architecture, the church resembles a Roman basilica. Nashville architect Fred Asmus worked with Bishop Byrne to design the church, which is modeled after Saint Martin’s on the Hill, one of the most famous churches in Rome."

"Plans to build the first Episcopal church structure in Tennessee were set in motion in 1830. Construction began in 1889, and the doors to Christ Church Cathedral were opened in December 1894. The Gothic Revival style building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places."

"One of the first Catholic Churches in Tennessee, St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows Catholic Church served as the second Cathedral of the Diocese of Nashville from 1847-1914. Architect Adolphus Heiman, a German immigrant, designed the church using a Greek Revival architectural style. The first Catholic Bishop of Nashville, Richard Pius Mules, O.P., was primarily responsible for the construction of St. Mary church and led Tennessee’s Catholics until his death in 1860."

"Once Upon A Time In France started in 2016 when musician/sound engineer Melvil Arnt left France to start a whole new life in Music City. Born and raised in Paris where he worked in cocktail bars and several restaurants, his passion for wine and French cuisine led him to launch the project of opening what was lacking the most in Nashville, a true wine bar. On the contrary of opening a wine bar or a classic restaurant, they opened what’s called the friendliest, delicious and affordable, staple of the French culture, A Bistro."

"Father and son Laurent Champonnois and Melvil Arnt opened the no-reservations-accepted chic 1920s-inspired French bistro on Gallatin Avenue back in late 2019, and the 45-seat restaurant was a fast favorite for date nights among Nashville locals. Whether the night calls for escargot, foie gras, or beef bourguignon, Once Upon a Time in France serves up romantic vibes and a wallet-friendly wine list as an added bonus."

"Walking from the parking lot to the restaurant you may do a double take. In a hot second, you'll be transported from Nashville to Paris. Father-son duo Melvil Arnt and Laurent Champonnois combined their life-long desires to open a wine bar and a restaurant to create this French bistro."

"Kid Rock’s is the newest mega bar to open on Nashville’s Lower Broadway and everything about it is exactly what you’d expect from Kid Rock. Every single thing is so over the top and borders between “okay that’s kind of cool” and “oh my god that’s so annoying.” The best part is the band stage, which is super tall and has the band elevated along the wall over the dance floor and bar below. The drinks and food are both pretty expensive, and are getting mixed reviews."

"Kid Rock’s big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘n’ Roll Steakhouse has the longest name and one of the biggest spaces downtown. There are five floors, including a sizable rooftop bar."
