Tennessee State Capitol

Capitol hill, Charlotte Avenue between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, was purchased in 1844 by the city of Nashville from Judge G. W. Campbell for $30,000. Alternately known as Campbell's Hill and Cedar Knob, this area had been the burial place for earlier Indian inhabitants.

A commission was formed in 1845 and after sorting through many submissions from architects, a design by William Strickland was decided upon.
