Description
An
exterior
view
of the
old
Father
Ryan
High
School
,
located
at
2300
Elliston
Place
in
Nashville
,
Tennessee
,
circa
July
1978
. This
school
building
was
originally
constructed
circa
1928-29
on
land
that was
once
a
part
of the
Elliston
family
plantation
. The
Roman
Catholic
school
was
named
in
honor
of
Father
Abram
J
.
Ryan
, a
beloved
19th
century
Southern
priest
and
poet
. The
school
traces
its
historical
roots
to the
Nashville
Catholic
High
School
for
Boys
that
opened
in
September
1925
at
2015
West
End
Avenue
. The
Elliston
Place
campus
was
active
as a
parochial
school
for
over
sixty
years
and was the
first
of
two
schools
in
Tennessee
to
integrate
. In
1970
, there was an
expansion
to
facilities
,
when
it
absorbed
Cathedral
High
School
and
became
Nashville’s
only
coeducational
parochial
school
. In
need
of
further
expansion
and
modernization
, the
last
graduation
was
held
at the
Elliston
Place
campus
in the
Spring
of
1991
.
During
the
summer
, the
school
relocated
to a
new
campus
located
at
700
Norwood
drive
in the
Oak
Hill
area
of
Nashville
. The
old
school
building
at
Elliston
Place
was
razed
circa
1995
