Hotel Row

Hotel Row is both a National Register and locally listed historic district consisting of one block of early 20th-century commercial buildings, three to four stories high, located on Mitchell Street west of Forsyth Street in the South Downtown district of Atlanta.

[2] The buildings were originally hotels with ground level retail shops built to serve the needs of passengers from Terminal Station, opened in 1905.

The buildings are the most intact row of early 20th-century commercial structures in Atlanta's original business district.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the increase in air travel led ultimately to the demolition of Terminal Station in 1971.

They typify the early 20th-century commercial structures once common in Atlanta but now rare because of extensive redevelopment.
