In the Christmas season the lights which illuminate Centennial Park's iconic landmark turn the columns red and green. Near Valentine's Day, it might go all red. However, for most of the year this is the way it looks.
If you're interested in the Parthenon, it's history, how it was built and how the Athena Statue came to be, I have a book recommendation.
The Parthenon in Nashville
This book was originally written in 1968 by Nashville historian Wilbur Creighton. He briefly writes the story of how it came to be for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition and how it came to be rebuilt and is now a city mainstay. This version of the book was published in 1990 and includes an extra section on Alan LeQuire's Athena Statue which was rather close to being finished at that time.
