Abstract
Kimbrough Towers is located at 1483 Union Avenue in the Central Gardens area of Memphis. The Kimbrough Towers were built in the mid-20th century. This building is a wonderful example of Art Deco style. There are many bas relief style ornamentations. There are pilasters going up the middle of the façade of the building. The building is made out of stone. There are several fixed windows on the façade and sides of the building. The stone is painted two different colors. The bottom two floors are a grey color, but the rest of the building is a cream color.
