The old Rutherford County Hospital is fading fast. All of the original structure and a large percentage of the newer section, including the ER and new operating rooms have been razed.

Demo Plus, a Nashville firm that specializes in environmentally friendly demolition and recycling, is taking down the old hospital that fronts Highland Avenue and University Street, as well as Bell and Lytle Streets.
