Image 1 of 1: Designed by J.R. Whitemore, this 1890s Italianate-style building housed various commercial businesses including the Cummins Brothers Company and Ford Flour Company from 1943-1990s. Wholesale goods and flour sales dominated Nashville's economy at the turn of the century. The building is best known for the agricultural store Acme Feed and Hatchery, later re-named Acme Farm Supply, which was housed in the building from the 1940s until 1999. In 2015, the building reopened as a restaurant and bar, and most of the original construction remains intact despite various tenants over time. Featuring three unique floors and a roof-top bar, the restaurant is one of Downtown's most well known honky-tonks as of early 2019. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
