The Nashville City Paper reports on the beginning of a $1.58 million refurbishing of the historic Belmont Mansion on the Belmont University campus, the most comprehensive exterior restoration of the historic landmark since 1859. Scaffolding has been placed around the 152-year-old building facing Wedgewood Avenue, as crews begin to replace the stucco exterior, repaint the pink façade, and refurbish woodwork on doors and windows.
