new owners renamed the building the Village Green after the location next to the Brown County Village Green. The Walter Miller family then purchased the building in 1967. After his retirement Walter and June Miller established a gift and antique store on the second floor. In 1977, Frank Miller established The Candy Dish and Richard Miller established Miller's Ice Cream House. Frank Miller then opened The Harvest Preserve in 1980. The second and third floors now serve as galleries and teaching studios for some of Nashville's best artists. As you will find, The Village Green Building has more creative hands at work than any other place in Nashville. It's a must visit!
