History
The building was built in 1900 at the intersection of Forsyth Street and Walton Street in the Fairlie-Poplar district of downtown Atlanta.[1][2] Around 1936, an Art Deco facade was added to the building.[1] Today, the building stands as one of the oldest commercial buildings in the district.[1]
In 2014, the building was placed on the Atlanta Preservation Center's list of most endangered historic places in Atlanta.[1] In October 2015, it was announced that a nearby tech building had plans to demolish the building and repurpose the area.[1][3] However, following public outcry, the developers instead announced plans to preserve the building and build an expansion on top of the existing structure.[3][4] As of 2018, no further plans have been announced for the building.[4]
