The twelve-story high-rise building was built by the construction firm Foster & Creighton from 1925 to 1926 for George Bennie, a businessman who served as the President of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, and William Dillon, a real estate developer. It was designed in the Renaissance Revival architectural style by the architectural team Asmus & Clark. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Davidson County, Tennessee in 1984. The Foster & Creighton construction contracting firm was founded in 1885 by Wilbur F. Foster and Robert T. Creighton, who had both served as City Engineer of Nashville.
