The Nashville Financial Historic District or Wall Street of the South is a historic district in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Davidson County, Tennessee (NRHP) on March 20, 2002.[1]
History
Buildings in the district were constructed from 1900-1974. The district boundaries are Third Avenue North and Union Street.[1] The district was once known as the Wall Street of the South because it has four large bank buildings. The buildings are: the 1926 Nashville Bank and Trust Company building designed by architectural firm Asmus & Clark, The opulent Nashville Trust building, the 1926 American Trust Building designed by Henry C. Hibbs and the 1922 Federal Reserve Bank Building. The district helped Nashville to become a regional banking center.[2]
