Starr Piano Building:
The Starr Piano Building is a historic 1880s Queen Anne landmark that has been thoughtfully reimagined as a luxury boutique vacation rental in the heart of downtown Nashville. Originally home to one of the South’s leading piano and organ retailers, it also holds the distinction of being Nashville’s first record store, offering early recordings by musical legends like Louis Armstrong, Gene Autry, and Charley Patton. This iconic building is a living tribute to the city’s rich musical roots, spanning from ragtime and early jazz to Nashville’s modern-day rhythm. Whether you’re drawn to music history, timeless architecture, or upscale urban stays, the Starr Piano Building offers a one-of-a-kind experience that beautifully bridges the past and present of Music City.
