Washington Hall (hotel)

Washington Hall was a historic hotel in antebellum Atlanta, Georgia.

Washington Hall was constructed by James Loyd in late 1846 at the intersection of Loyd Street (later Central Avenue) and the Georgia Railroad line in downtown Atlanta.

[2][3][4] Loyd operated the hotel for almost a year before leasing the building to H. C. Holcombe and Zachariah A.

[4] It was described as being of "uncertain architecture" due to the constant renovations and expansions it underwent shortly after its construction to accommodate the rapid growth of Atlanta preceding the Civil War.

[4] Like Washington Hall, Markham House would also be destroyed by fire, as it burned down in 1896.
