Woodmont Terrace Apartments

Woodmont Terrace Apartments is a residential complex with seven apartment buildings and an office building spread across eleven acres of landscaped grounds. The buildings display Colonial Revival architectural details and include shared facilities like a swimming pool and fitness center on the property.

Construction started in 1938 with the residential buildings completed by 1939. An office building was added the following year, completing the original development plan.

The residential complex shows how mid-20th century Nashville approached the challenge of housing many families in one place. Walking through, you see how the architecture and layout shaped the daily rhythm of community living for residents.

The grounds are spacious and easy to walk through, with buildings well-spaced across the property. Shared amenities are centrally located near the office building, making them accessible from all residential areas.

The complex was designed by the prominent architects Warfield and Keeble and represents a rare combination of large-scale residential development with 1930s design principles. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 recognizes this important example of mid-century urban planning.
