This original facility would include educational programs, the CMF Press and CMF Records, the Country Music Foundation Library (1968), and the historic sites RCA Studio B (1977) and Hatch Show Print (1986).
The Music Row location was closed December 31, 2000. The building was later razed and a private parking lot for employees of music licensing firm BMI occupied the site. The entity moved to a new location at 222 Fifth Avenue S, in downtown Nashville.
