The Sullivan Tower was a high-rise building in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. It was named after Lifeway Christian Resource's President, James L. Sullivan. It was built between 1940—1956, and demolished in 2018.
History
[edit | edit source]The first two floors of the Art Deco-style building were completed in 1940; nine more floors were added from 1950 to 1956 and later named for Sullivan. [1]
It was part of the headquarters of the Southern Baptist Sunday School,[2][3] later known as LifeWay Christian Resources, until November 2017, when the company moved to the Capitol View area.[4]
The building was imploded by Southwest Value Partners, a real estate development company based in San Diego, California, on July 21, 2018.[5][6] The developer is expected to develop part of the Nashville Yards where it stood.[6]
Architectural significance
[edit | edit source]The building was designed in the Art Deco architectural style.[5] In 2017, after requests from local preservationists, the Nashville Metro Historical Commission recommended its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places,[7] to no avail.[5]
