Scene tip:

At the southern end of the main strip of 12South is Sevier Park, with lots of open grassy areas to picnic or lounge (and plenty of trees that provide shade), a playground and jogging trails. It’s also the home of Sunnyside, an antebellum mansion. It was built in the mid-19th century by Mary Benton, the first cousin of first lady Sarah Childress Polk. Her husband Jesse Benton famously engaged in a pistol fight with Andrew Jackson in 1813. The Battle of Nashville raged around the house in December 1864, and the bullet-scarred porch and columns still bear the marks of battle. Sunnyside is now home to the Metropolitan Historical Commission.
