The Post Office, located at the corner of Hadley and Donelson Avenue, was a popular place for the thousands of Old Hickorians during the war, and later became Robinson's Grocery when the present Post Office was built in 1935.	The Old Hickory Hospital was a once well known place to hundreds. First aid medical treatment and immunization shots of various kinds were given here. Later, the building was completely remodeled for the Old Hickory Flower Shop.

Housing for workers during the powder plant days were called "tar babies" due to the use of tar and paper in the construction.	Typical housing for workers during the powder plant era.
