The Tennessee Club, also known as the Overall Goodbar Building, is a historic townhouse in Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.. Designed by architect Elah Terrell, it was built in 1888 for two doctors by the names of Overall and Peete.[1] Colonel William F. Taylor, a veteran of the Confederate States Army who served under General Nathan Bedford Forrest during the American Civil War, also had an office in the building.[1] By 1890, it became the home of the Tennessee Club, a social club founded in 1875.[1] From 1907 to 1927, it was home to Overton and Overton, a real estate firm.[1] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 22, 1982.[2]
