It was completed in 1923 to designs by Washington, D.C., architect Waddy B. Wood.","why_significant":"It is significant under Criterion A for its link to downtown Atlanta's commercial expansion after the Spring Street viaduct opened in 1923. It is significant under Criterion C as an excellent local example of Neoclassical Revival design whose ornate exterior remains virtually unaltered. It is also one of few surviving tall early-to-mid 20th-century office buildings downtown, and a rare Atlanta work by Wood.","narrative":"Standing at the corner of Marietta and Spring streets in downtown Atlanta, this ten-story office building was completed in 1923 for the estate of former mayor John T. Glenn. Washington architect Waddy B. Wood designed it in the Neoclassical Revival style, with limestone main facades, a Greek-fret frieze, terra-cotta panels and a heavy cornice decorated with lion heads. It rose just as the new Spring Street viaduct opened, which sharply raised nearby property values and set off a wave of office construction. Tenants included local firms, manufacturers' representatives, branch offices of national companies and, by 1940, the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Its exterior remains almost unchanged, and it is one of few tall early-to-mid 20th-century office buildings left downtown. Wood did little work outside the Washington area, which adds to its interest. Interiors were heavily altered over the decades, but a 2006 rehabilitation preserved the facades and converted the building into a hotel with a restaurant.","period_of_significance":"1923-1958","architect_builder":"Wood, Waddy B.
