STAHLMAN BUILDING,
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Constructed between 1906-1907, the Stahlman Building was Nashville’s second skyscraper. This 12-story Beaux Arts style building originally housed a bank on the ground floor with offices on the upper floors until the summer of 2004. This redevelopment brings a unique urban living opportunity to the heart of downtown Nashville. The Metro Courthouse Plaza across the street provides resident parking as well as a dynamic landscaped urban park literally at the front door. Original features include high ceilings within the residential units and corridors (many exposing the original plaster detailing), original marble wainscoting in the corridors with exposed original tile mosaics as borders. Many of the apartment entry doors are restored crotch-mahogany with opaque glass sidelights and original transoms. Units are open and airy with flexible floor plans, exposed mechanical systems and modern light fixtures. Kitchens feature black appliances with original marble wainscoting used on some of the kitchen countertops. There are ample closets and minimal room separation. Live/work units were also incorporated on the second floor for downtown small-business owners. Views to the Nashville skyline, across the river to the Coliseum and East Nashville or across the road to the renovated Courthouse Plaza make this a desirable location for urban living (and working). • Listed on the National Register of Historic Places |
