Sterick Building, Gothic Revival skyscraper in downtown Memphis, United States.
The Sterick Building rises 365 feet with 29 floors, featuring a white stone spire crowned by a green tile roof at Madison Avenue.
Upon completion in 1930, the structure marked its position as the highest building in Tennessee, maintaining this status until 1957.
The building's granite lobby displayed pink Italian marble and black Belgian marble, reflecting the architectural preferences of 1930s commercial buildings.
The structure contained eight high-speed elevators serving 2,000 workers, with offices, a bank, pharmacy, barber shop, and beauty parlor.
The land lease required monthly payments of $1,500 in gold coin standard, leading to a legal dispute in 1975 regarding currency valuation.
