Has anyone heard about this?
Apparently, the Georgia Tech foundation has acquired the Crum and Forster building at 771 Spring Street, designed by architects Helme, Corbett & Harrison (NY) and Ivey and Crook (Atlanta), and has requested a demolition permit without any particular plans to replace it with new construction in the short-term.
Admittedly, I have not seen the actual permit, so if anyone has an easy link to it, I'd like to see it.
This is the tri-arched vaguely Italianate brick building immediately south of the GaTech Barnes and Noble in midtown.
I sort of randomly stumbled upon this from the following sites, so I'm not sure if it's well known or not.
