217 Second Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37201

Steeped in Nashville's vibrant history, this 1875 building has witnessed the city's remarkable transformation. Originally a tin shop, the property later became home to the George Dickel Company's Nashville outpost during the early years of their whiskey brand. Throughout the twentieth century, it housed C.C. Waggoner & Bro. General Store, a prominent downtown merchant known for importing Dutch Tulips. A pivotal moment in the building's legacy came when it transformed into the office of “The Citizen” George Barrett, the legendary civil rights attorney credited with effectively dismantling segregation in Tennessee. Each space within the structure carries stories of entrepreneurship, creativity, and social progress, making it far more than a mere architectural landmark.
