This building was originally constructed next to the Atlanta Terminal in 1912 to house the Southern Railway’s offices. Between 1905 and 1970, the Atlanta Terminal railroad station was a major Castleberry Hill anchor, serving the Southern Railway, Central of Georgia, Atlanta & West Point, and Seaboard railroads. The terminal was demolished in 1972 and Southern was eventually placed under the control of the Norfolk Southern Corporation in 1982. After years of abandonment, the building was restored and converted into a mix of uses as a part of the 50-acre, $5 billion Centennial Yards redevelopment project.
