Harley Holt & Service Merchandise

Service Merchandise Store

3rd & Broadway

As we cross 4th Avenue we have Flag World, offering flags and banners of anything you could possibly imagine.

We also have Harley Holt Furniture Co., one of Nashville's oldest furniture outlets. The Building has been home to several different night clubs over the last several years.

Our last building of interest on this block often sits vacant, offering no clues of its past prominence, but it was here in 1969 that Harry Zimmerman started the first of a string of Catalog Showrooms, formerly known as Service Merchandise.
