Sterick Building




The Sterick Building is an imposing 29 story tower located at Third and Madison in downtown Memphis.  It was known as "the Queen of Memphis" when completed in 1930 and was supposedly the tallest building in the South at the time.  Its name is a contraction of the building's original owners, Sterling and Hedrick.  The building eventually fell into decline and has been vacant since the 1980's.  The Sterick Building's future is uncertain.
