Description	A postcard of Court Square on Market Day. Court Square, also referred to as Court House Square or Public Square, was located right in the center of the city.

On market days the square was especially busy. The old city hall, dating from the 1850s, was replaced by a new city hall and courthouse in 1937. Most of the remaining buildings were destroyed in the 1970s as part of urban renewal projects. RaphoType Postcard no. 5184, "Nashville, Tenn."
