		Atlanta City Hall, a fourteen-story tower surmounted by a shallow pyramidal roof, was erected on the site of the Neal Residence, which served as General Sherman's headquarters during the Civil War.
		The center of the shaft is recessed to give the impression of two slender towers, which are notched in order to provide for twelve corner offices on each floor and crowned by identical columned aediculae.
		The components of the CNN Center are differentiated on the outside: two fourteen-story office buildings and a five-hundred -room hotel form massive blocks of Alabama limestone, while the full-height atrium, in weathering steel and bronze glass, dramatically slopes toward the Omni.
