"Equitable Building" by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill

"Equitable Building" by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill
Atlanta, Georgia (GA), US
The Equitable Building is a 35-story, 453 foot (138 m) tall office building in Atlanta, Georgia, located at 100 Peachtree Street in the Fairlie-Poplar neighborhood in downtown Atlanta. A typical example of an International-style skyscraper, the building was designed by Chicago-based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and was constructed in 1968 on the site of the former Piedmont Hotel.

Its location is next to the historic Flatiron Building across Peachtree Street to the east, and the historic Rhodes-Haverty Building across Williams Street to the northeast. It is also bounded by Forsyth Street on the northwest, and Luckie Street on the southwest. Woodruff Park is just across Broad Street to the south, and that intersection and pedestrian plaza would be where the future Peachtree Streetcar lines intersect.
