Crum &Forster, a New York-based insurance firm formed in 1896 and incorporated in 1907, sought to expand and build a new Southern headquarters in Atlanta. They looked to a combination of architects nationwide, and ultimately hired the Atlanta firm Ivey &Crook to work with the New York firm Helmle, Corbett &Harrison. Their collaboration, the Crum &Forster Building (1926), is a Renaissance revival palazzo reminiscent of the Beaux-Arts projects and student exercises of Georgia Tech's architecture program led by Francis Smith, of which Ivey and Crook were both students. In 2007, Georgia Tech purchased the Crum &Forster building, with plans to demolish and build a parking lot. Local preservationists fought and managed to save its five-bayed façade centered on an entry loggia (an exterior covered space) of three sweeping arches. The rear two-thirds of the building, however, were demolished to make room for Georgia Tech's Center for High Performance Computing in 2013.
