History

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.
