National Teacher's Normal and Business College Administration Building

Henderson, Tennessee's National Teacher's Normal and Business College Administration Building was constructed in 1908 along the Main Street in Henderson. The building is a mixture of the Renaissance and Italianate architectural styles. The building was designed by noted Memphis architect Hubert T. McGee. The building is constructed primarily of sandstone with three dormers on the facade and a cupola, housing a bell, at its top. The National Teacher's Normal and Business College was incorporated in 1907 and replaced the West Tennessee Christian College. By 1919 the school was renamed Freed-Hardeman College and in 1990, Freed-Hardeman University. In 2012, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and continues to serve as the administration building for Freed-Hardeman University.
