Fountain Hall

Fountain Hall is also known as Stone Hall and Fairchild Hall. The hall is a building in Atlanta, Georgia that was the former Atlanta University. It was originally named Fountain Hall in 1882 because the building was built in honor of William A. Fountain, a bishop. It is unclear when the name changed to Fairchild or Stone Hall; however, the building was added to the National Historic Landmark list in 1974.

The building is also on the Landmark Building list for its exterior. It was added to this list in 1989. The building is found on 643 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The building sits on Diamond Hill and is now a part of Morris Brown College Campus. Fountain Hall was a significant location to the city, state, and nation because it was one of the first postsecondary education facilities to offer education to African Americans. The building was the architectural genius of GL Norrman. The structure is three stories of red brick in a Victorian style. It has a clock tower and spire making it recognizable from a distance. As part of the university the building can be toured when the college is open with no fee for admission.
