This is a popular state office building that houses state departments. Thousands of state employees work here each day. Before the completion of the Bellsouth Building, or the Batman Building, it was the tallest building in Nashville. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, it was home for American General Insurance, and the windows would light up at night to spell phrases. It has 32 stories, the top floor being a reception hall, and the 31st floor is a walking track.
