Davidson County Court House - Nashville, Tn - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

Four courthouses have been built on this site, which was set
aside in the original plan of Nashville for a public square
and public building. The present building brought about a
union of municipal and county offices in one building,approximately
twenty-five years before consolidation of the two governments.
The building was a significant W.P.A. project.
The Courthouse is an excellent example of "Governmental" Art
Deco: the symbolism and classical columns speak of a public
building, but much decorative work is Art Deco. The Courthouse
is also significant because of the excellent craftsmanship it
contains--the bronze castings, terra cotta, and carvings, for
example.
The building was constructed during 1936 and 1937. Cornerstone was
laid on August 10, 1936. The building was officially opened with a
ceremony on December 8, 1937. (visit link)
