Description

This current building is the fourth city hall that Atlanta has had, and was completed in 1930. The 11-story main structure was designed by architect G. Lloyd Preacher (who also designed various other buildings in Atlanta such as the Medical Arts Building and the Pershing Point Apartments); and an additional annex was added to city hall in 1989. It is a great example of Neo-Gothic design, and features a cream-colored finish, glass windows, pointed arches, and marble wainscoting and pillars. Today, the building houses many of the city's government offices and is used as a meeting space for public hearings and functions.
