Image by wallyg
This neoclassical annex to the Atlanta Life Insurance Company Building, at 142 Auburn Avenue, was built in 1936. The Atlanta Life Insurance Company Building, located at 148 Auburn Avenue, was originally constructed as a residence and served as the headquarters of the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, founded by Alonzo Herndon, from 1920 through 1980. Atlanta Life Insurance Co. moved to the adjacent, Herndon Plaza, in 1980.
The Sweet Auburn Historic District is a historic African-American neighborhood, running Auburn Avenue, formerly known as Wheat Street. The name Sweet Auburn was coined by John Wesley Dobbs, who called it the "richest Negro street in the world." Its rise as the preeminent black district in Atlanta stemmed from the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot, after which many black businesses started to relocate from previously integrated downtown district.
