The National Register of Historic Places listed the building in 1979.[1] The building was converted from office use in 1995-1996[3] to become a MarriottResidence Inn, the Residence Inn Atlanta Downtown.
Origin of name
The building was constructed for the Rhodes Haverty Investment Company, a partnership of furniture magnates Amos G. Rhodes of Rhodes Furniture and J. J. Haverty of Haverty's. It was not named for the Rhodes–Haverty Furniture Company (1889-1908), which had already been dissolved.[4]
Immediately across Peachtree Street is the English-American Building, commonly referred to as the Flatiron Building.
