About this property

The Woodmont Terrace Apartments is a historic apartment complex in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The buildings are located at 920 Woodmont Boulevard in Nashville, the county seat of Davidson County, Tennessee. Construction of the eleven apartment buildings began in 1938, and it was completed within a year, in 1939. A year later, in 1940, an office building was built adjacent to the residential buildings. Two decades later, in 1965, five more apartments were added to the office building. By 1983, a gym and a swimming-pool were also added to the office building. The seven two-storey buildings were designed in the Colonial Revival architectural style. The original seven residential buildings have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 21, 2003.
