The Glenn Building was built in 1923. That same year, construction of theSpring Street viaduct led to a boom in development on the west side of downtown Atlanta which included the nearbyBona Allen Office Building. The ten-story building was designed by Wadley B. Wood ofWashington, D.C., and originally served as an office building. It was named after formermayor of AtlantaJohn Thomas Glenn. AnArt Decoparking garage was constructed adjacent to the building in 1928, but was demolished in the 1990s and replaced by a larger parking garage.[1] In the late 1980s, theFederal Reserve Bank of Atlanta purchased the building as a possible expansion site, but sold the building after deciding to instead relocate tomidtown Atlanta.[1][2]
In 2003,Central Atlanta Progress placed the building on a top 10 "development opportunities" indowntown Atlanta, alongside other derelict or abandoned buildings such as theMedical Arts Building and theWinecoff Hotel.[3][4][5] In 2006, the building underwent a $6 million renovation that converted the building into aboutique hotel as part of theAutograph Collection underMarriott International.[6] Several sources cite theGlenn Hotel as the first boutique hotel in downtown Atlanta.[7][8] The building was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 2008.[2] In 2015,Alexi Torres was commissioned by the building owners to paint a mural on a side of the building.[9]
