Home Economics Building, Historic academic building in Nashville, United States.
The Home Economics Building features red brick walls, marble floors, decorative swags over windows, and columns that complement the architectural design of Vanderbilt University.
Constructed in 1912 by Hedden Construction Company, the Home Economics Building initially operated under the name Household Arts Building before opening for classes in 1914.
The structure marks an era when educational institutions incorporated domestic sciences into formal academic curricula, focusing on family and consumer education.
The building spans 29,588 square feet and contains classrooms, faculty offices, and an attached greenhouse that remains functional for current educational programs.
In 1916, the Assembly Room stored 20,000 books due to library space limitations, with additional volumes kept in the Industrial Arts Building boiler room.
