Our office moved into the historic Tyler Building located on Rankin Avenue, Walnut Street, and North Lexington Avenue in 2018. The Tyler Building was built in 1928 for W.W. Bernard and E.J. Tyler, designed by Henry I. Gaines. This three-story reinforced concrete and steel garage / office building is faced with tan brick and trimmed with limestone. The building originally had auto entrances to all three floors. S.W. White was the Tyler Building’s first tenant, operating his automobile service station, Whites Service, on the first floor.
