designed by w. l. stoddart, who also designed the ga. terrace and the ponce apts., was begun in 1916, but construction was interrupted by world war i and not resumed after the war --- in 1995 an additional ten stories were constructed and it was re-opened as a hotel, which didn't last long --- then it was eaten by ga. state, which has now burped it back up again, to be
reborn as a comfort suites hotel --- a first for south of the tracks and something that will get a lot of use from visitors to the various agencies in the federal center, just a block to the west ---
I have to say it was a very tasteful addition especially for 1995. Looks as if it were to be built that way initially. I love seeing any development and infusion of capital in the original downtown of Atlanta.

actually i think it sorta followed the original design --- think about the winecoff (now ellis) and carnegie buildings --- they are very similar
