Wallet Card in Nashville: Third National Bank

Not my best photo, but here you can see a building with Third National Bank in big letters above the second floor.

This 12-story building was Nashville's first skyscraper when it opened in 1904 as the First National Bank Building. It went through a variety of main tenants until the Third National Bank moved in during the 1930s. Over the years, Third National grew into one of the area's largest banks. In the 1980s it was acquired by SunTrust, and the Third National brand was phased out in the 1990s, at which time this became a hotel, which it still is today.
