The Etta Loft– Historic Flat - Walk to Broadway

The Cohen Loft building is a beautifully restored three story dwelling in the heart of downtown Nashville. Originally built in the late 1800’s the building was constructed as a Renaissance Revival-style building by Meyer and Etta Brinkley Cohen.

The Etta Loft is located inside the historic Cohen Building. The entire loft is made up of over 3,000+ square foot living space.

The couple owned a lucrative jewelry shop on the first floor and occupied the top two levels as their lavish downtown residence. Mrs. Cohen lived and entertained here from the time of her marriage in 1897 until 1930 at the time of her death. She was well known around Nashville for her extravagant parties. The Cohen Building is a piece of history with longtime roots in the downtown Nashville community.

In 2012 Sanders Pace Architectural firm was hired to restore the building and create a custom residential loft dwelling on the third floor for the-still current majority owner of The Cohen, Betsy & Ryan Chapman, as well as buildouts for the original corporate headquarters of both Nashville-based, Giarratana Development and Premier Parking (now known as Metropolis Technologies, Inc) and the Modern Trousseau wedding dress shop on the 1st floor.

In 2014, the Chapman’s had expanded their family with a little one, paving the way for the current design, which was completed in 2021. To finish out a one of a kind stay, the first floor became the home to the Nashville Barrell Company, a custom whiskey tasting experience and lounge to help round out your Nashville experience.
