Erected in 1882 on the crest of Diamond Hill on the Morris Brown College campus, Historic Fountain Hall is one of the earlier structures for the original site of Atlanta University with financial support from the American Missionary Association and the Freedman's Bureau.

Historic Fountain Hall is significant to Atlanta, Georgia and the United States of America for its role in educating American descendants of enslaved Africans. For this reason, Historic Fountain Hall was made a National Historic Landmark in 1975. 

Historic Fountain Hall is in urgent need of restoration & renovation. The intent of this petition is to build massive visible awareness advocating for the restoration & renovation of an essential part of Atlanta's rich history.
