Herndon Building, Historic office building in Sweet Auburn, United States
The Herndon Building at 251 Auburn Avenue featured a three-story L-shaped brick structure with a large H on its front facade in Atlanta.
The 1924 construction marked a significant development in Sweet Auburn, competing with the Odd Fellows office complex built by Benjamin J Davis.
The building housed multiple African American organizations including NAACP offices, Atlanta Urban League, and the Atlanta School of Social Work from 1925 to 1935.
Before its demolition in 2008, the building contained 60 offices, 6 storefronts, and a hotel section across multiple floors.
Alonzo Herndon incorporated salvaged materials in the interior design and built an adjacent gas station that later became a police precinct.
