Equitable Building, Modern skyscraper in downtown Atlanta, United States
The thirty-two story office building at 100 Peachtree Street features black exterior finishes and stands 453 feet tall in the Fairlie-Poplar district.
The Equitable Life Insurance Company commissioned Skidmore, Owings and Merrill to design this building, which opened in 1968 on the former Piedmont Hotel location.
The structure represents Atlanta's 1960s architectural period when insurance companies established their presence through substantial commercial developments in the downtown area.
The building connects to public transportation through MARTA Red and Gold line trains at Peachtree Center station and Atlanta Streetcar stops at Woodruff Park.
During construction in 1968, the building experienced a fire on the tenth floor that caused 1.6 million dollars in damage without causing injuries.
