A bit of Sylvan Park Halloween lore for you all...🚂 👻 Our very famous Sylvan Park Dinky was once a streetcar that carried the people from our neighborhood all the way to downtown Nashville from 1905 until phasing out in the 1940s. Rumor has it that around Halloween, the local kids would prank the conductor by greasing the tracks at 46th & Dakota, causing the lightweight trolley to slip right off the tracks. Nobody was ever harmed during this mischief night prank, with elders claiming it had been a “good, clean joke”. 🎃 What do you think? Should we bring back the Dinky?

Cozy neighborhood bars within walking distance of your historic inn?🍷 You found your place! There’s plenty to see in Nashville, but we often find our favorite spots are the ones with dim light, a solid w**e list, and a comfy seat. Swipe for a list we recommend to our guests when staying with us in Sylvan Park!

The history of the guestbook.🖋️📜 We’re not entirely sure who all stayed in the boarding house in the Great Depression era, but we certainly hope in many years from now, someone will look back on our guest book and note all of the kind words of those who passed through.
