Description
This abstract photo art features the top three tallest buildings in Nashville, Tennessee - the AT&T Building {right - also the tallest building in Tennessee overall}, The Fifth Third Center {middle} and the Tennessee Tower {left}.
The AT&T Building (formerly the South Central Bell Building and BellSouth Building, colloquially known as theBatman Building) is a 617 ft (188 m), 33-story skyscraper completed in August 1994 and located in Nashville, Tennessee. The structure is designed as an office tower capable of housing 2,000 workers. It is currently the tallest building in the state of Tennessee.
The Fifth Third Center in Nashville, Tennessee, is a 31-story, 490-foot-tall (150 m) skyscraper. It was constructed in 1986 and is located on Church Street and Fifth Avenue North. It was the tallest building in both Nashville and Tennessee for eight years, until it was surpassed by the AT&T Building in 1994.[1] It serves as the home to Fifth Third Bank's Nashville headquarters.
The William R. Snodgrass Tennessee Tower (also known as the Tennessee Tower) is a skyscraper in downtownNashville, Tennessee, that houses Tennessee government offices. The tower was built for the National Life and Accident Insurance Company and served as its National Life Center until the State of Tennessee acquired it on January 3, 1994. More than 1,000 state employees who had been assigned to numerous locations now work in the building.
The building is named in honor of William R. Snodgrass, a career public servant who served as Tennessee's Comptroller of the Treasury from 1955 to 1999.
The tower was struck by lightning on August 31, 2003, which caused a fire pump to turn on the sprinkler system. This caused flooding and extensive damage to the elevator shafts.
Prior to being purchased by the state, the building was used to display messages by turning on lights in the windows on the front of the building. After being dormant for 10 years a new message – "Peace" – was displayed on December 17, 2007.
