Tennessee State Library and Archives - Donations
By the middle of the twentieth century, it became obvious that the State Library had outgrown its space in the Capitol and that a new building was in order. When the new building, constructed as a memorial to the men and women of Tennessee who served in World War II, opened in 1953, it was clearly state-of-the-art, and a stately and handsome structure as well.
