Mifflin Hood

Mifflin Hood, BLDG's renovation of a 100 year old brick building that formerly was the headquarters and showroom of the B. Mifflin Hood Brick Company recently added to the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1921, when the company bought the building, they constructed a seven bay addition to the east of the original building.

In the 1930s, a small rear addition was added to the property. A simple brick cornice, several pilasters, and four 25-light metal windows with keystones comprise the decorative features of the façade. The sloped topography of the site means that the 1909 portion of the building is lower than the later addition. The building has recently been rehabilitated into a single-family residence with an office and studio space. B. Mifflin Hood was an important voice in the Progressive Era movement as he did not use convict labor and fought to overturn the convict labor system —making this property a good example of the City’s social and industrial history.

This property is part of the Atlanta Design Festival MA! Architecture Tour Programme.
