The hotel had 15 stories, but Atlanta fire-fighting equipment could not handle any building taller than 8 stories Today it sits an empty shell across the street from the Ritz-Carlton, today an infamous name in the history of Atlanta, but before 1946 this building was considered to be one of the finest hotels, not only in Atlanta but the entire Southeast. Completed in 1913, the Winecoff was named for builder William Fleming Winecoff, who owned the hotel. It stood 15 stories tall, dwarfing the other buildings around it. The building represented the "northern" movement of Atlanta to what today is called "mid-town." Very little of mid-town existed prior to 1890, when Piedmont Park was built. With the 1895 Cotton Exposition, mid-town seemed to come to life and by the time Winecoff built the structure the growing section was in need of a hotel.
