The Atlanta Constitution Building has been featured in the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Places Restored, Threatened, Saved, and Lost section of Preservation Magazine’s Summer 2026 issue 📰 Built in 1947 for the Atlanta Constitution newspaper…

the Streamline Moderne building was designed by local firm Robert and Company and once housed editor-in-chief Ralph McGill, whose anti-segregation writing was later recognized by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in his Letter from Birmingham Jail. After Georgia Power Company vacated the space in 1972, the building sat empty for decades. Now, after more than 50 years of disuse, the building’s revitalization is underway. Invest Atlanta is partnering with developer Gorman & Company and architecture firm Gensler to transform the structure into 50 units of affordable housing as part of the larger Folio House project. Asbestos abatement and facade cleaning are already complete, with major construction expected later this year. We’re proud to see this Atlanta landmark recognized on a national stage, and even prouder to see it getting the second life it deserves. 💬Comment FOLIO and we’ll send you the full feature! #PreserveATL #AtlantaHistory #HistoricPreservation #AtlantaConstitutionBuilding
