History
The six-storey building was completed in 1911. It was designed in the Georgian Revival architectural style by Shattuck and Hussey, an architectural firm based in Chicago. Inside, there is a large cast-iron neweled staircase. Percy Warner, a prominent Nashville businessman, served as Chairman of the Building Committee. It was dedicated on May 9, 1911.

The first floor was home to the Ophelia Clifton Atchison Memorial Library, named for the mother of Nashville banker and philanthropist, John Hill Eakin.
