Description	A view of the columned porch of the Hamilton Parks residence, located at 1706 West End Avenue, in Nashville, Tennessee. This architectural structure is non-extant, having been demolished circa the 1960's. It was originally the family home of Hamilton Parks, a prominent Nashville Attorney and Counselor of Law. The 1894 Nashville City Directory cites their address on West End and their home was probably built around this time. Originally a grand home in both exterior and interior design, they hosted many charming social events, such as the 1906 wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Parks' daughter, Anna Webb Parks, to John Stearns Bleecker. Photographed by the Nashville architect Charles Wesley Warterfield, Jr. (1926-1998); the architectural photograph forms part of the Charles Warterfield Architectural Collection. Gift of: The Estate of Charles W. Warterfield, Jr., F. A. I. A. The original is a 35 mm color transparency (2 x 2 in. slide mount).
