55 Marietta Street

55 Marietta Street is a 21-story high-rise building in downtown Atlanta housing multiple commercial office tenants. The structure features modern architecture designed to accommodate businesses in the central business district.

The building was completed in 1958 by architect Wyatt C. Hedrick and initially held the distinction of being Atlanta's tallest structure. This status lasted only until 1961 when One Park Tower surpassed it in the city skyline.

The building stands on the former location of the U.S. Post Office and Customs House, which served as Atlanta's City Hall from 1910 to 1930.

The building sits in Atlanta's central business district with good access to public transportation networks and nearby amenities. Walking the streets around this address gives a sense of how the downtown core is organized.

The structure originally served as the Fulton National Bank Building and functioned as a banking headquarters. Its transformation into a multi-tenant office building shows how downtown Atlanta adapted its spaces to meet changing business needs.
