Description

OCR is poor. The article (News and Record, 1927-10-02) headlined 'BANK OF NASHVILLE FAILS TO OPEN DOORS' reports directors met and agreed to suspend business and an examiner is investigating. The text implies a suspension that may be permanent, but no explicit reopening or receivership is mentioned. I classify as suspension_closure because the bank 'fails to open doors' and directors 'agreed [to] suspend' operations; if further articles show reopening, the classification should be revised. 'Bank of Nashville' type not specified in text, so set to unknown.
