It was built in 1901-1902 as the Empire Building and remodelled in 1929.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is architecturally significant as the work of two leading Atlanta firms, Morgan and Dillon (1901) and Hentz, Adler and Schutze (1929). The original design showed Chicago School characteristics, with steel-cage expression and large glass areas. The 1929 Renaissance-style base and two-story marble banking hall are described as among the grandest well-designed spaces in central Atlanta. The building also reflects the attitudes of Atlanta's business community in two periods of growth.","narrative":"Rising fourteen stories at the corner of Broad, Marietta and Walton Streets in Atlanta, this office and bank building was first put up in 1901-1902 as the Empire Building. Its original design by Morgan and Dillon used a steel-cage frame, buff brick, paired windows and a flat roof, showing the influence of the Chicago School after the architect's trip to Chicago and New York. The building later became the Atlanta Trust Building and, in 1929, was bought by Citizen's and Southern Bank. Hentz, Adler and Schutze then redesigned the three-story base in the Second Renaissance Revival style, replacing stucco and cast iron with stone. Inside, a two-story banking hall runs from Walton Street to Marietta Street, with Italian marble walls, Corinthian pilasters, a patterned marble floor and bronze chandeliers. The nomination values the building as the product of two periods of Atlanta's commercial growth and as a work of two prominent local architectural firms.","period_of_significance":"1901/1929","architect_builder":"Morgan and Dillon, 1901; Hentz, Adler and Schutze, 1929","architectural_style":"Commercial style (Chicago School influence) with a Second Renaissance Revival base","criteria":[],"status_note":"Marked occupied, privately owned, with commercial present use; the form lists the building as altered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:41.160473-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/77000426.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77000426/b245468d86-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/77000426/b245468d86-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Unknown pre-1923","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Empire_Building_(built_1901)_now_the_J._Mack_Robinson_College_of_Business_Administration_Building.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown pre-1923</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Empire_Building_(built_1901)_now_the_J._Mack_Robinson_College_of_Business_Administration_Building.jpeg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"82002416","name":"Fairlie-Poplar Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/fairlie-poplar-historic-district-82002416/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93208130","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Mack_Robinson_College_of_Business_Administration_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6106445"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/fulton-county/citizens-and-southern-bank-building-77000426/"}
