Nashville Throwback Thursday: The Sam Davis Hotel

Before the massive growth of downtown Nashville over the past decade, the Nashville skyline gained a 12 story addition in 1928 with the opening of the Sam Davis Hotel, which touted amenities like rooms with tub and a shower bath AND circulating ice water! To make way for the new convention center, it only took 200 pounds of dynamite to bring the historic hotel to the ground on February 16, 1985!
