Hotel Row


Hotel Row is a district of Atlanta, Georgia between 99.5 Forsyth Street and Mitchell Street. Hotel Row has been added to the landmark district exteriors list and the national register of historic places, in 1991 and 1989 respectively. Hotel Row is a block of commercial buildings, which are mostly hotels now. These buildings were built for passengers taking the main railroad in Atlanta at Terminal Station. These buildings are some of the best in shape of the 20th century structures built in the city.

Hotel Row includes Concordia Hall, Scoville, Gordon Hotel, the Sylvan and two other structures. These structures were mostly designed by Samuel Inman and Walker Inman. They were two highly prominent residents of Atlanta at the time the buildings were constructed. Concordia Hall is highly important to the Jewish Community. The entire Hotel Row is considered significant to the transportation, commerce, cultural development, and architecture of Atlanta.

The Terminal Station was completed by 1905, which lead to the need for hotels and other business buildings nearby. During the same decade the buildings were constructed adding to the district's shopping area, grocer, boarding houses, eating houses, and furniture stores. Peachtree Street is just a block away and an important area as well.
