Buchanan, Tenn.–Demolition of the Paris Landing Inn has begun. Workers are dismantling the building, beginning at the back with the portion of the building that faces Kentucky Lake. Workers on Saturday were working with forklifts atop a section of the Inn and demolition debris was being loaded on the ground. Fencing and barriers were erected around the Inn over recent weeks, with a hurricane fence erected in the back of the Inn last weekend. New Park Manager Zach Tinkle told WENK/WTPR earlier that all the furniture and other items have been removed from the facility and given to other parks in the state. The Inn is being demolished and will be replaced by a more modern, but smaller, facility. State officials estimated the new Inn will be built by 2020. (Shannon McFarlin photo).
