A West Nashville commercial property recognized for its eye-catching modernist sign has been listed for sale for an undisclosed price. Located at 6229 Robertson Ave., the 1942-constructed building is home to Robertson Avenue Market and sits at what many consider the geographic and commercial center of Charlotte Park.
Metro records note that in 2001, a family — the details of whom Scene sister publication the Nashville Post was unable to determine — paid $370,000 for the building and the 0.55 acres on which it sits. The one-story structure offers about 6,290 square feet and two retail spaces, with the space previously (and many years ago) occupied by Dutch Maid Cleaning.
6229 Robertson Ave.
The quirky Dutch Maid pole sign — which subtly takes design cues from Space Age-influenced Googie futurist architecture (highlighting car culture, jets and the Atomic Age) — is considered by many a Charlotte Park landmark of sorts. Marketing materials note the property is suitable for redevelopment.
Sitting at the intersection of Robertson Avenue and Croley Drive, the property is located near multiple sites of recent commercial and residential building additions to Charlotte Park (read here).
Shawn Haniff, a broker with Nashville-based Commonwealth Properties LLC, is marketing the property for the owner.
