Description
A
postcard
of the
Davidson
County
Court
House
and
Public
Square
showing
the
wagon
market
. Also
referred
to as
Court
House
Square
, this
area
was
located
right
in the
center
of the
city
. The
square
with the
county
courthouse
,
city
hall
and
market
center
was a
focus
of
wholesale
commerce
and
political
activity
for the
city
for
many
years
. On
market
days
the
square
was
especially
busy
. The
crowded
market
area
on this
card
shows
a
large
group
of
vendor
wagons
and
townspeople
. The
courthouse
was
demolished
in
1935
, and in
1937
the
present
Metropolitan
Court
House
was
completed
to
replace
it
.
Most
of the
remaining
buildings
making
up
the
square
were
destroyed
in the
1970s
as
part
of
urban
renewal
projects
.
