Via the Ga. State
University Library Archives (file #LBT10-050a), here is a 1953
architectural rendering of the Fulton National Bank at 55
Marietta Street, which was Atlanta's tallest
building from the time of its completion in 1958 until
1961, when a nearby bank, now known as One
Park Tower, was finished. It was built on the
site of the old City Hall. At the bottom of the
image, the Henry
W. Grady statue is visible. The contemporary
photo below it looks a tiny bit jumbled due to the fact
that it's actually two photos merged into a single image
in an attempt to duplicate the view provided in the
rendering.
These days there is no such entity as the Fulton National Bank and the still-standing building now serves as a "telecom hotel," housing the offices and switching equipment for various telecom companies. Google map
