Eichbaum was a Nashville bookseller and resident for fifty years. The drawing on this page is of the Second Presbyterian Church. This church was built in 1846 at Gay Street and Third Avenue. William Strickland designed the church with a Greek Revival architectural style similar to that of the state capitol. The congregation left the church for a new building in 1902. Following their departure, Standard Candy took over the space and used the old church as a storage warehouse until 1979 when the building was razed to make way for a parking lot.
