Before Pratt Engineering Company purchased the land, the property was used as farmland.[who?] The Pratt Engineering Company original use was a sugar and fertilizer processing plant.[1] In 1926, the Pullman company purchased the property to repair their railroad sleeper cars. They spent $1,000,000 (equivalent to about $22,223,300 in 2023) on renovations.[4]
In World War I the land was used for munitions manufacturing.[1]
In 2017 the Atlanta Urban Design Commission nominated the historic site as a landmark site.[5]
