John A. Gupton College

Gupton is located just west of downtown Nashville, in the same building as the Tennessee Funeral Directors Associational Office.

A large two-story classroom building, Paul L. Williams Hall (in honor of the college's 1st Law instructor), was erected.

The growth of the college began to increase after 1954, with Gupton-Jones merging with the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science.

Puryear Mims Hall was located two blocks from the main campus at 2810 Vanderbilt Place and was used for a Fine Arts instruction.

In keeping with standards set by the American Board of Funeral Service Education in the fall of 1966, a program of study leading to an Associate's degree in Mortuary Science was offered.

The college relocated to a 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) new facility in mid-town Nashville at 1616 Church Street in the fall of 1992.
