It is tied to grocer Alexander W. Farlinger, who built it and ran a model grocery on the ground floor. It was also among the first buildings in Atlanta to offer elegant rental flats and reflects the northward shift of residential and commercial growth.","narrative":"Completed in 1898 at the corner of Peachtree and Ivy Streets in downtown Atlanta, this four-story brick building follows the triangular shape of its lot. Granite piers frame the ground-floor storefronts, while upper floors have bay windows, limestone quoins, arched windows with console keystones, and a bracketed metal cornice. Architect George W. Laine designed it for grocer Alexander W. Farlinger, who ran a model grocery on the first floor and rented elegant unfurnished flats above. It was among the first Atlanta buildings to offer such apartments to the middle class, an alternative to the boarding house. The surrounding neighborhood shifted from residential to commercial in the early twentieth century. The apartments were reduced to single rooms by 1921, and the building became a hotel in 1930. Its exterior remains largely intact, and the lobby and main stairway keep original carved and paneled details. It was listed for its architecture, commerce and community development.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900- (specific date 1898)","architect_builder":"George W. Laine, architect; E.F.
