This building at Shelby Park in East Nashville was added to the National Register of Historic Places about half a year ago in August 2011. It was built in 1948-49 and is significant in the way it was built to resemble a Navy ship while facing the Cumberland River. The Navy moved out in 2009 and put up the fence around it.

This building was designed by Nashville architect Edwin A. Keeble as a two story, steel clad modified Butler hut armory building with a Nautical Moderne central projection which closely resembles the prow of a ship, complete with a large yardarm (flagpole) extending from a curved deck above the second floor.
