9. Sterick Building
This 29-story building in Memphis, Tennessee was once known as “The Queen of Memphis” and housed a bank, a pharmacy, a beauty parlor, a restaurant, and a number of offices, but now lies forgotten and abandoned.
Constructed in 1930, the Sterick Building was known for its distinct white limestone and granite exterior with a green tiled roof. It was the tallest building in Tennessee until 1957. By 1987, the building was unused and in disrepair. It has remained so ever since.
