One building dates from 1892 and the rest were built after a 1908 fire.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the block is one of the few surviving groupings of late 19th and early 20th century commercial buildings in Atlanta, designed by notable architects including Bruce & Morgan, George W. Laine and W. C. Denny. It also documents a specialized district of hotels and shops that served the adjacent Terminal Station and the railroad economy.","narrative":"Hotel Row is a single block of six brick hotel and commercial buildings on Mitchell Street in downtown Atlanta, built to serve travelers and workers connected to the nearby Terminal Station. Concordia Hall, completed in 1892 for a Jewish social association and designed by Bruce & Morgan, is the oldest building and the only one to survive the May 1908 fire. The remaining buildings, including the Gordon, Scoville and Sylvan hotels, were constructed after that fire, with designs by W. C. Denny and George W. Laine among others. The buildings rise three to five stories and use red or buff brick, stone and terra-cotta trim, pressed-metal cornices and ground-floor storefronts. Although storefronts have been altered, the block keeps a cohesive streetscape much as it looked in 1908. It is considered significant for its architecture, its role in commerce, and its link to Atlanta's railroad history, at a time when few comparable commercial blocks remain in the city.","period_of_significance":"1892-1939","architect_builder":"Bruce & Morgan; George W.
