Main Street runs along an east—west ridge, a topography that did not lend itself to a courthouse-square organization. Consequently, the two-story brick courthouse (1963–1964) with a pedimented portico by local architect Thomas H. Johnston Jr. sits without much prominence at the northeast corner of Main and Washington streets. Southwest of it, Main street is terminated by the pyramid-roofed clock tower of City Hall (2014–2015; 110 W. Main). Local architect Briar Jones gave the banded-brick and limestone building a setback composition to accommodate its triangular site. At 101 W. Main, the two-story brick commercial building (1931, Overstreet and Town) with decorative brick patterning was built as the Rex Theater and Masonic Lodge. N. W. Overstreet gave the vaguely Mediterranean, three-story Hotel Chester (1925; 225 E. Main) a five-part facade composition and a red clay-tile roof. The hotel was rehabilitated in 1984 and the porte-cochere on Jackson Street added. Across Jackson Street at 300 University Drive, the attenuated arcade of Regions Bank (1972; pictured) is a variation on Minoru Yamasaki’s much-emulated North-western National Life Insurance Building (1965) in Minneapolis. Jones and Mah of Memphis designed what is now Cadence Bank (1977) at 301 W. Main as a Brutalist composition in bush-hammered concrete panels.
