User:Eagledj: This suggests the current Parthenon was designed by Hart, not Smith. The first Parthenon (designed by Smith) was demolished and a new one was built (and designed by Hart) in 1931. Hart also designed the Tennessee Governor's Mansion.Zigzig20s (talk) 02:02, 5 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
The nrhp doc for the hotel is clear that J. Edwin Carpenter, trained in Beaux-Arts style, designed it. Could Hart have supervised a renovation or submitted a design not accepted, or something? Hotel, Carpenter: 1908. Parthenon, Hart: 1920. Mansion, Hart: 1929. --Doncram (talk) 03:55, 5 June 2019 (UTC)eReply
A quick look suggests that Carpenter is the Hermitage Hotel architect. Agreed, Hart's obit that mentions him designing the Hotel may well have referred to a renovation. I'll get into it further to see what I can find. Thanks for the heads-up. Eagledj (talk) 00:13, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

User:Eagledj: I've added enough for a referenced stub, and I'll let you take it from here. Please ping me when you've expanded it. Thanks!Zigzig20s (talk) 21:36, 8 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
I'm going to be out of town for a couple of weeks, so I can't get into it for a while. Best,-Eagledj (talk)
Maybe that middle one is in fact a straight-forward Russell Hart work/ --Doncram (talk) 07:15, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
The Lewis County Courthouse says "Hart & Russell" in the infobox. We'll need to figure out who Russell was, unless it's an error... It could be "Hart, Russell" instead of "Hart & Russell"? The Parthenon is in Centennial Park, which used to be the Burlington Plantation--at least in part--but that is off topic. The Parthenon was designed by William Crawford Smith in 1897 and apparently rebuilt by Hart in 1931. The 1897 Parthenon looks very similar, so perhaps Hart simply renovated it?Zigzig20s (talk) 17:44, 8 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
