The Young Women's Christian Association Building, also known as the Jacques-Miller Office Building, is a historic building in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
The building is in Nashville, the county seat of Davidson County, Tennessee.[1] [2] It is located downtown, at 211 7th Avenue North,[2] between Church Street and Union Street, opposite the back of the Sheraton Nashville Downtown.[3]
The six-storey building was completed in 1911.[2] It was designed in the Georgian Revival architectural style by Shattuck and Hussey, an architectural firm based in Chicago.[2] Inside, there is a large cast-iron neweled staircase.[2] Percy Warner, a prominent Nashville businessman, served as Chairman of the Building Committee.[2] It was dedicated on May 9, 1911.[2]
The building was home to the Nashville chapter of the Young Women's Christian Association.[2] The association offered boarding facilities for Christian women as well as a gymnasium and a job centre.[2] The first floor was home to the Ophelia Clifton Atchison Memorial Library, named for the mother of Elizabeth Rhodes Atchison Eakin,[4] widow of Nashville banker and philanthropist, John Hill Eakin.[2]
The first chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Nashville No. 1, rented the Vespers room of the YWCA building from 1917 to 1927 for their meetings.[5]
In 1982, the building was redeveloped as an office building.[2] It was renamed the Jacques-Miller Office Building.[2]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 16, 1982.[1]
