The 30-story Financial Center on Church Street. Originally built as the Third National Financial Center, this 490-ft. building was Nashville's first Postmodern skyscraper, utilizing decorative motifs adapted from historic structures. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC, the sloping columns and curved cornices were inspired by William Strickland's Downtown Presbyterian Church across the street (the photo from the steps of the church). The gable roof at the crown is typical of the Postmodern style. It was the tallest building in Nashville as well as Tennessee from 1986 until 1994, when it was surpassed by the nearby BellSouth Building. Today it ranks as the fifth tallest skyscrapper in Nashville.
