The building was imploded by Southwest Value Partners, a real estate development company based in San Diego, California, on July 21, 2018.[5][6] The developer is expected to develop part of the Nashville Yards where it stood.[6]
Architectural significance

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
