- This articles is about the 1920s office building on Highland Avenue. For the 1954 building on 7th Avenue South, see Southern Life & Health Insurance building (1954).
The Southern Life & Health Insurance building is a 4-story office building at 2121 Highland Avenue. It was constructed in the 1920s for the Southern Life & Health Insurance Company.
The 23,000 square-foot classical-style limestone building was designed by Warren, Knight & Davis. Its ornately-detailed main lobby is raised several steps above the sidewalk.
The building was leased in 1978 to Dominick, Fletcher, Yeilding, Wood & Lloyd attorneys. The partners in that firm purchased the property in 1994. They put the building on the market in 2012 before moving their offices to Ridge Park.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
