The building was demolished in 1964 to make way for the new headquarters of what was then the First National Bank of Atlanta; at the same time the top half of First National's then-existing headquarters building, adjacent to the north at the corner of Peachtree and Marietta streets, was removed. The remains of that building are now Georgia State's Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.
