 Chick-fil-A (restaurant), 1924_construction, commercial building

2-story modernist commercial building originally completed in 1924. Designed by A. Duncan Seymour as a bank, it is clad in limestone and glass. The ground floor has a central entrance with two glass-and-metal doors, recessed between show-windows. There is a larger display-window in the north bay and a metal service door in the south bay. Above a stone band across the top of the ground floor, the facade angles back with a metal-and-glass curtain wall, broken into a wide center bay and smaller end bays by two stone columns that extend straight up, projecting in front of the curtain wall. These piers and the end piers support the stone at the top of the facade, which overhangs the recessed, curving wall below.

The building was renovated in 2006 for the previous occupant, Sephora cosmetics. It was then occupied by Modell's sporting goods until 2018, and is now occupied by a Chick-Fil-A restaurant.
