As has become a late-year tradition, Historic Nashville Inc. announced its 2021 Nashville Nine list of threatened historic properties Wednesday.
The 2020 list was dominated by properties damaged in the March 2020 tornado and by locations critical to the civil rights movement and Black history in the city. Nearly half of the 2021 list, as might be expected, is made up of properties damaged by the Christmas 2020 bombing on Second Avenue.
