Notes
  • Significance: This building, among the earliest to be erected on Public Square following the fires of 1856, is a fine example of the richly decorated Italianate storefront in Nashville and may offer the first significant use of cast-iron elements in commercial buildings in the area. It was erected in 1856 by Samuel D. Morgan, who was instrumental in founding cotton and textile mills in Nashville and Middle Tennessee, and who served as chairman of the State Capitol Building Committee. Since 1897 the building has been occupied by J.S. Reeves and Co., another dry goods store.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-21
