The Stahlman, designed by architect James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter, Jr., is a 12 story building regarded as Nashville's second skyscraper. Over 100 years old, the building has been renovated into loft apartments and retail space.
Since 1967, its roof has featured large neon letters spelling the callsign of radio station WKDF (and before that, its predecessor, WKDA), which occupied part of the building until moving to new facilities in 1978.
When the Stahlman building opened in 1907, it housed the Fourth National Bank. The original vault still resides in the basement.
