William R. Snodgrass Tennessee Tower

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

The William R. Snodgrass Tennessee Tower (also know as the Tennessee Tower) is skyscraper in downtown Nashville, Tennessee that houses Tennessee government offices. The building was previously built as the National Life Center for the National Life and Accident Insurance Company until the State of Tennessee acquired it on January 3, 1994. Over 1000 state employees now work in the building who were previously scattered around numerous offices. The tower was struck by lightning on August 31, 2003, which caused a firepump to turn on the sprinkler system. This caused flooding and extensive damage to the elevator shafts. Prior to being purchased by the state, the building was used to display messages by turning on lights in the windows on the front of the building. After being dormant for 10 years a new message - 'Peace' was displayed on December 17, 2007. Google Earth Ready. (V 3.4) #Earth #Google #Nashville #Ready #Snodgrass #Tennessee #Tower #William
