Sullivan Tower


The Sullivan Tower was a high-rise building in Nashville, Tennessee. It was built in 1940-1953, and demolished in 2018.

History

The Sullivan Tower was built between 1940 and 1953. It was the headquarters of the Southern Baptist Sunday School, later known as LifeWay Christian Resources, until November 2017, when the company moved to the Capitol View area.
The building was imploded by Southwest Value Partners, a real estate development company based in San Diego, California, on July 21, 2018. The developer is expected to develop part of the Nashville Yards where it stood.

Architectural significance

The building was designed in the Art Deco architectural style. In 2017, after requests from local preservationists, the Nashville Metro Historical Commission recommended its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, to no avail.
