Big news for preservation in Atlanta 📣 The Atlanta Constitution Building has officially been nominated for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Located at 143 Alabama Street, this 1947 Streamline Moderne landmark is one of the few remaining examples of its kind in the city. Designed by Robert & Company, the building was home to the Atlanta Constitution newspaper and Pulitzer Prize-winning editor Ralph McGill, whose courageous journalism helped shape civil rights dialogue across the South. After more than 30 years of vacancy, renovations have officially begun. Led by Gorman & Company, the building will be restored and reimagined as Folio House, bringing 50 units of affordable housing and new ground-floor commercial space to downtown. This nomination honors the building’s architectural and cultural legacy and marks the beginning of a new chapter rooted in preservation, progress, and community. #PreserveATL #AtlantaConstitutionBuilding #HistoricPreservation #StreamlineModerne #AtlantaHistory #RalphMcGill #FolioHouse #NationalRegister #AffordableHousing #ArchitecturalHeritage #SavingPlaces #PreservationInAction
