<p><strong><em>The Vitamin Shoppe</em></strong>, located in Franklin, TN was a great addition to an already great area for masonry structures.

<p>The architectural team at <strong>Gerald Herschman Architects</strong>, of Cleveland, OH, worked with general contractor, <strong>Innovative Constructive Solutions, Inc</strong>., of Brookfield, WI, to complete this building project.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>The masonry contractor, <strong>R.E. Waller</strong> <strong>Masonry</strong>, from Joelton, TN, was responsible for the fine masonry work you see detailed here.</p>

<p>Over in Lebanon, TN, the <a title="Nashville Superspeedway website" href="http://www.nashvillesuperspeedway.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Nashville Superspeedway</strong></a> is attracting visitors from several states to come and see some great racing.</p>
<p>We at <strong>Southland Brick and Block</strong> hope you&#8217;ll notice all the fine masonry materials while you&#8217;re there.</p>
<p><a title="HNTB Architecture" href="http://www.hntb.com/architecture/index.jsp?companyid=4" target="_blank"><strong>HNTB</strong></a>, the project architects and <strong>JTK Masonry</strong>, both from Nashville, were able to take two different colors and two different textures in each color of concrete masonry unit and blend it into a scheme that makes the masonry materials one of the focal points of this project.</p>
<p>The project included over 32,000 SF of <strong>Dover Gray</strong> masonry units and over 36,000 SF of <strong>Safari Beige</strong> units in splitface and smooth textures.</p>
<p> </p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img title="Safari Beige - Dover Gray Masonry Units" alt="Safari Beige - Dover Gray Masonry Units" src="http://www.southlandbrickandblock.com/images/Dover%20Gray%20Safari%20Beige.jpg" /></div>
<p>  </p>
<p align="center"><strong>Here&#8217;s a closeup of all four masonry units.</strong></p>
<p>The Administration Building, shown below, also used this same color and texture scheme and we applaud <strong>HNTB</strong> for designing this building with load-bearing masonry walls.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Wilson County, TN is home to this fine racing facility and <strong>Southland Brick and Block</strong> is proud to have supplied these masonry materials out of our Mufreesboro, TN location.</p>
