1180 Peachtree, commonly known as the Symphony Tower, is a 41-story skyscraper located at 1180 Peachtree Street in the Midtown district of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Rising to a height of approximately 657 feet (200 m), the building includes office and retail space in its 351,616 square meter of floor area as well as a 1,200 space parking deck. Construction was completed in 2006.

Designed by architectural firm Pickard Chilton of Connecticut, 1180 Peachtree incorporates various environmental innovations that won the prestigious U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) award. This building is marked on the skyline by two sweeping glass fins extending upwards from the north and south walls. These fins are lit from inside at night for a dramatic skyline presence, giving what is considered to be a gothic feel.

Over 60% of the tower's leasable space is occupied by Atlanta-based law firm King & Spalding as its international headquarters. The firm was previously located in downtown's 191 Peachtree Tower.

The building is intended to be the "campanile" of the Woodruff Arts Center's proposed Atlanta Symphony Center, which is designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and was planned to occupy land adjacent to the structure along 14th Street. The $300 million Symphony Center will not begin construction until fundraising goals are met although the projection is estimated to be between 2007 and 2010.

Sacred
to the Memory of
Benjamin Douglas Esqr
Barrister at Law & Kings Attorney
For the County of Newhaven
A Gentleman of the first Character
For genuine Politeness, unbounded Hospitality
Extensive Charity,
and true Christian Benevolence;
A Lawyer,
Who with eminent Abilities in his Profession,
Preserved the most inviolaate Reputation,
For Integrity and Veracity
And a Scorn of all the Chicanery
of the Bar;
A firm Friend to the Liberties of his Country,
Whose true Interests he invariably pursued
Without suffering himself to be drawn aside
By the Allurements of Interest,
Or the Love of Popularity.
To countenence the destructive Measures
Of Ministerial Oppression on the one hand
Or Misguided Anarchy on the other.
He died December 3d. AD. 1775
In the 36 Year of his Age.
Go Reader,
And in the short Space of Life allotted thee
Attend to his Example
And Imitate his Virtues
