HISTORY OF the Bridge Building
Perched on the east bank of the Cumberland River, The Bridge Building Event Spaces has a storied history dating back to 1902 when Arthur Dyer founded the Nashville Bridge Company (NABRICO) Initially focused on bridge construction, NABRICO quickly expanded to other major projects like the steel framework for The Arcade in downtown Nashville By 1908, a six-story office building was erected to accommodate the company’s growth, setting the stage for decades of infrastructure contributions across the Southeast and beyond
The Bridge Building sat vacant until a revitalization plan emerged in 2006 After surviving the 2010 flood, Hastings Architecture Associates spearheaded its transformation, achieving LEED Platinum certification with innovative energy features and preservation of historical elements
Today, The Bridge Building is internationally recognized as one of the greenest buildings and a premier Nashville event venue, offering customizable spaces for everything from graduation ceremonies to wedding receptions, all with breathtaking riverfront views

Nashville’s oldest downtown event space, dating back to 1874, has been transformed into a spacious contemporary venue Retaining its original character with exposed beams and abundant natural light, the space now boasts contemporary features that elevate it to a premier wedding destination.

HISTORY OF The Bell Tower
The building dates back to 1874 when the area was referred to as Black Bottom after the dark, muddied streets caused by periodic river flooding With a conglomeration of saloons, brothels, and gambling joints, the notable African-American neighborhood was culturally rich and lively It's even believed famed writer Zora Neale Hurston got some of her ideas on black urban life from walking the streets of Black Bottom.
The Bell Tower was one of the first churches built in Nashville by freed slaves after the Civil War; it was called the Saint Paul African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church Most of the neighborhood was demolished following World War II, and The Bell Tower is one of the last remaining structures dating back to the Black Bottom era
The property functioned as Saint Paul AME Church until the late 1950s when it relocated Since then, the building has served as a night club, warehouse, and most recently housed offices for EOA Architects.
At the end of 2012, singer-songwriter Brett James, purchased and redesigned the property The redesign maintained much of the building’s history and character, such as the original beams, downstairs stonework, and original sub-flooring, which is comprised of salvaged wood from homes destroyed during the Civil War The newly-named Bell Tower then opened in November of 2014
The main space
The main space features soaring ceilings, original exposed beams, and stunning arched windows With a wide open floor plan, the space is versatile and allows for a multitude of different layouts and configurations to suit your needs Whether you envision an intimate gathering or a grand affair, the main space provides a canvas for your creativity to flourish
The Patio
Our temperature-controlled patio features a vaulted ceiling and moveable siding to create an open-air atmosphere, perfect for cocktail hour.
The Mezzanine
Originally a choir loft, the upper level mezzanine boasts hardwood floors, original beams, and a perfect bird’s-eye view of the main space
lounges
Two wedding lounges located on the first floor of The Bell Tower allow for you to get ready with your wedding party on site and can serve as a private space to get away during the reception
tasting room
Within the actual bell tower lies our Tasting Room, a one-of-a-kind bar with over 100 hand-picked bourbon, whiskey, and scotch selections
