The Richard B. Russell Federal Building is a 26-story International style building in Atlanta, Georgia, housing U.S. government agency offices and federal courts. [4]

The building was constructed in 1978, on the site of the former Terminal Station, [5] which was razed in 1972, except for one platform retained by Southern Railway for its use. [6] [7] The building is named after politician Richard Russell Jr., who served as Governor of Georgia from 1931 to 1933 and as a U.S. Senator from 1933 to 1971.
