Kimball House, Former hotel building in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

The Kimball House occupied an entire city block at Five Points, bounded by Whitehall Street, Decatur Street, Pryor Street, and Wall Street.

The first Kimball House, built in 1870 by Hannibal Kimball for $650,000, featured a four-story open-air lobby with plants, flowers, and a fountain.

The hotel served as a central meeting point for presidents, railroad executives, and political figures during the Reconstruction era in the American South.

After a fire caused by a cigar-smoking lemon dealer destroyed the first building in 1883, local leaders raised funds to construct a second hotel.

Bill Monroe recorded his first solo session at the Kimball House on October 7, 1940, before the building was demolished in 1959.
