[Building's entry on Emporis.com]
/ref> The building has been so extensively renovated that it bears little resemblance to the original design, other than the terra cotta façade on the lower stories. This was originally a six-story office building with a terracotta facade, which replaced an earlier Connally Building on the site. In 1990, eleven stories were added[ and it was converted into a hotel. It has operated under the names ''Howard Johnson Plaza Suites'', ''University Place at Underground'', ''The Suite Hotel at the Underground'', and most recently it became a '' Fairfield Inn & Suites''.Fairfield Inn & Suites Downtown Atlanta website]
