Designed by Edward A. Keeble (1905-1979), the Life and Casualty Tower was the first major building constructed in Nashville after World War II and was Nashville's first post-war skyscraper to be erected. The office building has thirty-one floors at 409 feet tall and was Nashville's tallest building from 1957 until 1970. It was composed of limestone walls, granite, green glass, and aluminum window fins. Keeble's seven million dollar office building has a dark marble, Art Moderne style entrance and four-story lobby. Neon "L&C" letters were employed at the top of the structure as a corporate symbol and changed colors according to each day's weather forecast.
