The building was completed in 1819, and is believed to be named for either John Postell Williamson, the city's former mayor, or his son John P. Jr., who is believed to also have been known as "J. J. Williamson".[1] Improvements were made to the building in 1850, before it was damaged by fire in 1879, 1889 and 1898.
In 1921, the Shapiro Shoe Company was based at number 302.[2] At the same time, another part of the building was occupied by J. J. Williamson & Company cotton merchants, established in 1904.[3] Their home office was in Atlanta, but they had branches in Savannah, Augusta, Memphis, Dallas, Birmingham and Tupelo, and were members of both the New York Cotton Exchange and the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.[4]
In 1922, the cotton firm of Inman & Howard in Atlanta dissolved its partnership. Frank Inman combined his interests with those of J. J. Williamson & Company, under the name of Williamson, Inman & Stribling.[5]
