History
The building was constructed in 1909 to serve as a showroom and headquarters for the B. Mifflin Hood Brick Company.[1] B. Mifflin Hood, a businessman who had moved to Atlanta from Philadelphia, founded the company in 1904 and distinguished his company from his competitors by marketing his products as "non-convict brick", as Hood did not participate in the convict leasing system that was prevalent in Georgia at this time.[2] Hood also helped to improve the brick-making industry in the Southern United States by introducing new technological advancements and by founding a Ceramic Engineering Department at the Georgia School of Technology.[1] In 1921, the building underwent a massive renovation project that tripled the area of the building.[2] B. Mifflin Hood Brick Company continued to operate in the building until 1947.[3] On December 6, 2018, the one-story, 11-bay building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building is located along the BeltLine.[1]
