The Utopia Hotel is a historic building in Nashville, Tennessee.
Location
The building is located at 206 4th Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee.[2] The street was called the "Men's Quarter," where no respectable woman would venture.[2]
History
The hotel was built in 1891 to the design of architect Hugh Cathcart Thompson.[2] It was built to accommodate the visitors of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.[2] It has six storeys.[2]
In 1904, it became home to a restaurant, where many men would have lunch on their workdays.[3] It was dedicated with a dinner for the Nashville Press Club.[3] Later, it became home to a laundromat called Downtown Cleaners and a strip club called Brass Stables.[4]
In 2014, it was scheduled to be turned into a luxury hotel alongside other buildings around it, with developer Bill Barkley and investors Alex Marks and Billy Frist at the helm.[4]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings since March 26, 1979.
