Facts
The Edison Hotel is a straightforward slab of light buff color featuring a green mansard roof. While sparsely ornamented, its design includes Classical details.
Gulf States Utilities converted it into offices in 1955 and used it as its headquarters until 1982. It now houses government offices and some GSU operations.
With the communications array factored into the building's height, the overall height is just under 260 feet tall.
