The Bennie Dillon Building is one of Nashville’s oldest skyscrapers. The thirteen-story office building was constructed from 1925 to 1927. The first two floors consist of limestone blocks and make up the base of the building. The original storefront was altered in 1960, but was reverted back to its original appearance during a renovation project in 1999 that used Asmus and Clark’s original drawings as a guide. The base is separated from the shaft by a row of decorative molding with terra cotta shields and floriated attachments. Eleven identical stories make up the shaft followed by an elaborate cornice at the crown. Multi-colored terra cotta details cover the building, many of which are shields. There are also terra cotta lines of molding to create the illusion of columns running up the sides of the building. The Bennie Dillon Building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.
