The Atlantic Motor Company is a historic automobile showroom and gas station in Richmond, Virginia. Constructed in 1919, the building was designed by Richmond architect Albert F. Huntt with Bascomb J. Rowlett. It is located at 1840 West Broad Street.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 2005. It serves as a piece of architecture from the early era of the automobile, preserved as a heritage structure in the city.
After sitting empty for two decades, the building was converted into retail space and offices after 2004. This conversion was supported by tax credits, allowing the 1919 structure to be reused for modern workspace while maintaining its historic status.
