Cool old building - Marathon Motor Works

I had the opportunity (as part of an organized outing with the Brentwood Camera Club) to go photograph the Marathon Motor Works building near downtown Nashville this past week-end. The building is from 1881 and it housed the Motor Works from 1907-1914. It's a pretty cool location - several photographers have studios in the main building that has been converted to offices, etc. Yazoo Brewing and Lightning 100 are also located in the building. I found a lot more photo opportunities outside than inside especially the backside with the train tracks and parts of the building in various states of decay. For some more info on the Motor Works see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_Motor_Works. And if you ever down around 13th and Clinton Street (just north of Charolette Avenue) check it out.
