About This Memorial

The War Memorial Building in Nashville was constructed as a tribute to the 3,400 Tennesseans who lost their lives in World War I. Designed in the Greek Doric style by architect Edward Dougherty with McKim, Mead and White, its focal point is a Doric-columned atrium featuring a statue titled 'Victory' by sculptor Belle Kinney. The names of the fallen soldiers are engraved on the west and north walls. The adjacent Legislative Plaza includes monuments to Tennesseans who served in the Korean War and a statue dedicated to the Women of the Confederacy, also by Kinney. The site remains a significant memorial to Tennessee's military sacrifices in World War I.

"A historical place with a lot of plagues to read around. Also, an excellent place to have a rest after walking for a long time. There is no nearby parking....."
