Image 1 of 1: Sitting alongside other historic homes, the residential structure at 104 Fifth Avenue South, constructed around 1820, is considered one of the oldest residential buildings in downtown Nashville. Its two-story, symmetrical three-bay design in the Federal style was typical of middle-class urban residences. The adjacent building at 106 Fifth Avenue was built in 1880. The lower floors of both buildings housed commercial shops in the nineteenth century, including a cobbler shop and a drugstore, while the upper floors were for residential use. The houses were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as part of the Broadway National Register District.
