Description	A photograph of the Arcade, Nashville, Tennessee. The Arcade opened in 1903, running east to west between what were then Cherry Street and Summer Street; present day Fourth Avenue North and Fifth Avenue North. It was conceived by Nashville resident Daniel Buntin as an enclosed, two story pedestrian passage to house 52 retail shops. Mr. Buntin patterned the concept after Italian arcades that he had seen during his travels abroad, particularly one he had seen in Milan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The date of image was written on the slide mount. 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)
