Located atop Coleman Hill and overlooking downtown Macon, the Mercer University School of Law is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1956 and originally named in honor of Senator Walter F. George, it was modeled after Independence Hall. The school was founded in 1873 and is one of the oldest law schools in the United States, as well as the first in Georgia accredited by the American Bar Association.
This building was constructed around 1960 as a regional home for the Insurance Company of North America (INA). It was sold to Mercer University after INA merged with Connecticut General Life (CG) to form CIGNA (1982). There are often postcards for sale showing the front side of the building, with a sign labeled INA.
Thanks, Walter. I will update. I may even have one of those postcards…
This site has a lovely high place to relax and view Macon, just across the street from the law school.
