Also known as the William R. Snodgrass Tower, this skyscraper was built in 1970 by the National Life and Accident Insurance company, and this was called the National Life Tower. L&A seemed to compete with L&C (National Life and Casualty) in everything. When built, this 31 story building became the tallest building in Nashville, surpassing the L&C Tower. L&A's motto was "We Shield Millions" which was abbreviated to WSM for their new radio station 650 AM. L&A was responsible for starting the Grand Old Opry and everything Opryland. This building was purchased by the state of Tennessee in 1994 to house many government offices.
