Bedford Co. Jail - Shelbyville, TN

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Bedford_County_Jail

The Old Bedford County Jail, sometimes known as the Rock House Jail, is a 19th-century jail building located near the public square in Shelbyville, Tennessee.

The old jail is a two-story building built in 1866-7 from solid hand-hewn limestone. Goodspeed's 1887 History of Tennessee described it as "one of the handsomest and most conspicuous buildings in Shelbyville". According to Goodspeed, it was "one of the most secure jails" in Tennessee, lighted and ventilated by "long, narrow windows, through which the smallest person could not escape".

The old jail was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Bedford County operates a modern county jail at 210 North Spring Street in Shelbyville.

Wartrace's Bandstand and Well by SeeMidTN.com (aka Brent)

Wartrace's Bandstand and Well

according to the plaque on the right:
In 1909, the merchants of Wartrace constructed a wooden platform on this site. The platform was used as a stage for performances by the merchants' band and as the judges' reviewing stand for the horse shows that were then held on front street. The bandstand is constructed over a sulfur water well. The supposed medicinal benefits of the sulfur water attracted many visitors to the town in the early part of the 20th Century, and people began referring to the bandstand as the "well house." An article in a newspaper in the 1930's read "32 rooms at the hotel were full this Saturday and a majority of the visitors came to get water from the well." The well has since been sealed for health reasons. After World War II, a group of veterand enclosed the upstairs as a meeting place. The wartrace development corporation, a civic organization, had the lower concrete floor covered with bricks from the Wartrace High School, which was demolished in 1976. The Bandstand is now a popular location for musical events, gospel singings, ice cream suppers and other public gatherings.

Another note: This building is listed on the National Register of historic places as a contributing structure to the Wartrace Historic District. It is entry #48 and called the Wartrace Well

Junior Room - Webb School - Bell Buckle, TN

The Junior Room (a.k.a. Beale Building) at the Webb School in Bell Buckle, TN was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Then, the building was relocated on campus. This removed the historic integrity of the building and it was delisted from the register. However, it was also added as a contributing structure to the "Bell Buckle Historic District" so it still counts. Here is it's entry on the district's form:

14. Beale Building-Junior Room (Webb Highway): 1886, twenty four feet by thirtyfive feet, one story, one room school building, clapboard/frame, 4/4 elongated sash type windows, steep pitch gabled roof. Only remaining of the original Webb School buildings. Added to the National Register in 1973.

After reviewing additional information about the building, we have determined that it is still a contributing resource in the district. The Junior Room remains the oldest building on the campus, has been carefully restored, and is open daily to the public as a school museum. It is the most important building of one of the most significant preparatory schools of the South. It stood in its present location when listed in the National Register.

The school is certainly cognizant of the significance of this structure, and has done much to maintain and preserve it as a local historic site. Its present location is appropriate, work done on the building meets preservation standards, and the building reflects the re-establishment and early years of this important institution.
