Discover how Nashville’s historic main post office was boldly reimagined into a world-class art museum—and became an essential and beloved part of Nashville’s cultural community. Enjoy a lively, behind-the-scenes conversation with an extraordinary panel—reunited for the first time in a quarter century—as they reflect on their roles in bringing this landmark project to life.
The panel includes Chase Rynd, founding director of the Frist Center for the Visual Arts; Seab Tuck of Tuck-Hinton Architects, architect of record for the historic renovation; Mary Roskilly, partner/principal at Anecdote (formerly Tuck-Hinton Architects), who worked alongside Tuck in examining every square inch of the building before, during, and after the post office’s renovation; Walker Mathews, CEO of R.C. Mathews Contractor, the general contractor responsible for the renovation; and Carl Munkel, former construction manager with Gresham, Smith and Partners (currently senior risk advisor with Gresham Smith).
Their shared vision, close collaboration, and unforgettable stories promise an afternoon that will entertain, surprise, enlighten—and make you laugh.
