Cordell Hull State Office Building

Cordell Hull State Office Building, Government building in Downtown Nashville, United States

The Cordell Hull State Office Building is a ten-story Art Deco office building on the Tennessee State Capitol grounds at 425 Rep. John Lewis Way North in Nashville. It rises 120 feet and covers 348,606 square feet, and was built from 1952 to 1954.

Built from 1952 to 1954, the Cordell Hull State Office Building was named for Cordell Hull, Tennessee's 47th U.S. Secretary of State under Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 2013 a demolition proposal by Jones Lang LaSalle stalled after preservationists petitioned and Centric Architecture found refurbishing cheaper than rebuilding. Announced in 2015, renovation brought scattered legislative offices here from the Legislative Plaza, War Memorial Building and Rachel Jackson Building, with a new Capitol tunnel under construction in 2016.

The building is named after Cordell Hull, a Tennessean who was the 47th US Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944 under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Since a 2015 renovation, it has housed the state legislature's offices, moved from the Legislative Plaza, War Memorial Building and Rachel Jackson Building.

The building stands at 425 Rep. John Lewis Way North, on the Tennessee State Capitol grounds. A tunnel linking it to the Capitol was under construction in 2016, part of the renovation whose completion was projected for fall 2017. The Legislature moved its offices here from the Legislative Plaza, War Memorial Building and Rachel Jackson Building.

In 2013 Jones Lang LaSalle proposed demolishing the building, but journalists and preservationists questioned the plan. A petition and a Centric Architecture study finding refurbishment cheaper than demolition and new construction stalled it, and in 2015 renovation was announced.
