The Lexington Herald Building, also known as the Nunn Building, in Lexington, Kentucky, is a 4-story commercial structure designed by Leon K. Frankel of Frankel & Curtis and constructed in 1917 as headquarters of the Lexington Herald. F. Paul Anderson, dean of the College of Engineering at University of Kentucky, where Frankel was also a professor, consulted on the steel frame of the brick building. The building's ornamentation is minimal, and it includes a denticulated cornice above the fourth floor windows and a parapet. There is a gable in the parapet in the front center holds a decorative scroll displaying an "H" (for Herald). The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
