Sean,
Right you are! That's our full-size replica of the Parthenon, originally built of temporary materials for the Tennessee Centennial celebration in 1897, then rebuilt of concrete in the 1920s.
From what I understand, the Greek theme of the Centennial celebration was in response to Nashville's reputation as the "Athens of the South," due in part to the number of colleges that had already been established there, and the fact that it was the first southern city to establish a public education system.
I have photographed all three of my Jags with the Parthenon backdrop - you can see the photos in the album at my public profile page.
Cheers,
Don
