Construction of the Life Of Georgia building

Seen here is a photo taken during the construction of the Life of Georgia building, as seen in 1966 - a little over a year before the building opened in 1968. It's now known as One Georgia Center. The 24-story skyscraper is located at 600 West Peachtree Street NW. Seen in the lower right hand corner of both photos is the predecessor to this skyscraper, the Industrial Health And Life Insurance Company building, later renamed the Life Of Georgia building (yes, the same name of the building being erected in this shot).
