AmSouth Center (Nashville)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AmSouth Center (also referred to as the AmSouth Building) is a 108-meter (354-foot), 28-story skyscraper at 315 Deaderick Street in Nashville, Tennessee.

It is the regional headquarters of AmSouth Bank. It was completed in 1985. It was originally called the First American Center but the name was changed when First American National Bank merged with AmSouth Bank. A major renovation of the building's ground-level exterior followed the name change.

The building serves as the regional headquarters and a branch office for Birmingham, Alabama-based AmSouth Bank. It is also home to many non-related businesses who lease space in the upper floors. It was once the main office and headquarters of First American National Bank. AmSouth acquired the slightly larger First American National Corporation in 2000 after the latter involved itself in several unprofitable mergers. On May 25, 2006, AmSouth announced it is merging with Regions Financial. It is unknown at this time what the new company's presence will be in the building.

A relatively small parking garage is located beneath the building exclusively for the benefit of customers visiting the bank's branch.

A saber-toothed tiger fang was discovered during the excavation work for the building. This fang is one of only five to be found in the entire United States. It is estimated to be at least 10,000 years old. This find was the impetus for the logo of the Nashville Predators hockey team. In fact, before the team exits the locker room prior to each home game, a video is shown on the jumbotron of a computer-generated saber-toothed tiger emerging from the ground beneath the AmSouth Center. The logo for AmSouth (as well as its predecessor, First American) was once prominently featured in the video but was digitally deleted when the bank dropped sponsorship of the team following the 2002-2003 NHL season.
