Glenn Building, Neoclassical office building in downtown Atlanta, United States
The Glenn Building is a ten-story office structure in downtown Atlanta with symmetrical facades and classical columns. The structure stands on Marietta Street and displays typical neoclassical features with pronounced vertical lines.
The building was constructed in 1923 during a building boom following completion of the Spring Street Viaduct. It reflects the architectural trends of the post-World War I period in Atlanta.
The Glenn Building bears the name of John Thomas Glenn, a former mayor of Atlanta who influenced the development of the city in the early 1900s.
The building is located on Marietta Street in the center and is easily reachable on foot. It is worthwhile to view the classical exterior facade while walking through the historic downtown area.
The building was partially transformed into a boutique hotel in 2006 while keeping its historical architectural elements intact. This conversion shows how historic structures can take on new functions while maintaining their character.
