Mechanics' Bank and Trust Company Building, Renaissance Revival bank building in Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee.

The Mechanics' Bank and Trust Company Building features a facade constructed with Tennessee marble and stands six stories tall on South Gay Street.

Built in 1907 for the Mechanics' Bank and Trust Company, the structure expanded to five floors in 1923 when Union National Bank absorbed the institution.

The building incorporates classical architectural elements such as Ionic capitals and a high archway entrance with a pedimental hood at its main entrance.

The interior spaces now accommodate multiple law firms and financial agencies, while maintaining original features including pink marble walls in the lobby.

During the 1950s, the building contained broadcasting studios for radio station WROL-AM, where the Everly Brothers performed their music.
