Location
The Acme Farm Supply Building is located on the corner of First Avenue and Broadway in Downtown Nashville, off the Cumberland River.[1][2]
History
It was built in 1890 by J.R. Whitemore as a three-story building.[2][3][4] The first tenants were two brothers, Frederic and William Cummins, who rented the building for their grocery store in 1890.[2] It later housed Southern Soda Works, Continental Baking Powder Co., Ford Flour Co., and D. Byrd and Co.[2][3] In 1913, it housed the Bearden Buggy Co., and a wooden elevator was added to the building to move buggies up and down.[2][4] It later housed Sherman Transfer Co., Chadwell Transfer and Storage Co., and the Tennessee Wholesale Drug Co.[2][3]
In 1943, it became the home for Acme Feed and Hatchery, known as Acme Farm Supply in 1965.[2] The farm supply store, which sold "straw, feed, wire, tools" and more products needed on a farm, was owned by Currey L. Turner, a businessman from Nashville.[1][2] His pet calf, Beautena, appeared during commercials at the Grand Ole Opry.[2] In 1980, his son, Lester Turner Sr., bought the building.[2] The store closed down in September 1999.[2] The building, however, is still owned by the Turner family trust.[2] It was for rent in 2000, but it stayed vacant until 2013.[3]
