Got to visit today... The building was built in 1920, 26 years after the branch’s creation. The building was designed in the Georgian Revival Style by architects Hentz, Reid, and Adler. The building was a historic black meeting place and influenced men like Vernon Jordon, Andrew Young, and Martin Luther King, Jr. through their time there as youths. It closed in 2012 after its charter was dissolved. During its time, the building was referred to as the Black City Hall.
