Demolition of a historic former fire station building located on Charlotte Avenue in West Nashville is underway after having been put on hold in May.

Sitting on 0.26 acres and next to the structure last home to restaurant Smokin’ Thighs, the 1936-constructed Sylvan Park building offers an address of 4406 Charlotte Ave. and no tenant. Metro records for the property — the building once accommodated a single fire truck, thus yielding part of its historic significance, according to preservationists — date to 1909.
