State of Georgia Building, Government skyscraper at Peachtree Street, Atlanta, US.
The State of Georgia Building extends 556 feet into the Atlanta skyline with 44 floors of steel and glass construction.
Construction finished in 1966, making it the tallest structure in the southeastern United States until the Westin Peachtree Plaza surpassed it in 1976.
The building stands where the Peachtree Arcade once operated, marking the transformation of Atlanta from a commercial center to a government administration hub.
The skyscraper houses multiple state government departments at 2 Peachtree Street NW, with direct access to public transportation networks.
First National Bank occupied this building before the state government acquired it in 1991, following Wachovia Bank's corporate merger and relocation.
