City Office Building on Second Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee, 1965 (48/141)

City Office Building on Second Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee, 1965

This structure, located at 800 2nd Avenue S, was renovated by Metro government as an office building. The original project was to establish a teaching hospital to be called Galloway Memorial Hospital, a joint venture between Vanderbilt and the Methodist Episcopal Church. The new hospital construction began at Vanderbilt’s south campus starting in 1916, at the southwest corner of the old University of Nashville in the “College Hill” area. However, this structure was only partially completed, as work on the new Vanderbilt hospital complex was instead established on the West End campus. The partially completed Galloway Hospital building in south Nashville stood vacant until purchased by the City for office space in the 1930s
