Atlanta Constitution Building, Art Moderne building in downtown Atlanta, US

The Atlanta Constitution Building is a five-story Art Moderne structure at 143 Alabama Street SW, at the northwest corner of Alabama and Forsyth Streets in downtown Atlanta. Its exterior combines Flemish bond brick, marble and limestone, with curved corners, a prow-like end and a flat terraced roof deck. Julian Harris of Georgia Tech sculpted a 72-foot bas-relief, the "History of the Press", for the facade.

Built in 1947 by Robert and Company at a cost of $3 million, the five-story building housed the Atlanta Constitution until the paper moved out in 1953. Georgia Power occupied it from 1955 to 1960, and many Atlantans paid their electricity bills at this downtown office. The building has stood vacant since 1972 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 2026.

The building's sloping base once held retail space, and the Constitution's radio station WCON broadcast from the top floor. Editor Ralph McGill said he wanted the paper's prestige to match its new home. A 72-foot bas-relief by Julian Harris, "History of the Press", was moved after 1972 to the Georgia World Congress MARTA station.

The building sits at the rail junction in downtown and is easy to spot and observe from street level. Note that it is currently undergoing redevelopment, so viewing from outside is most practical at this time.

Julian Harris of Georgia Tech sculpted a 72-foot bas-relief, the "History of the Press", for the building; after it was abandoned in 1972 the piece was moved to the Georgia World Congress station of MARTA, near the escalators of the Centennial Olympic Park Drive entrance. An aluminum and terrazzo medallion of the Georgia state seal, once set in the entrance floor, is displayed at McElreath Hall in the Atlanta History Center.
