170 College Avenue is a historic building in Athens, Georgia, United States. It became notable as the office of the band R.E.M. between 1995 and 2011,[1][2] having moved from West Clayton Street (where their rehearsal studio remained).[3][4]

In 1909, the property was the home of Rosa A. Von der Lieth's art embroidery materials and fancy goods.[5] The following year, The Citizens Bank and Trust Company moved there from 197 East Clayton Street.[6] Immediately prior to becoming the home of R.E.M./Athens LLC, it was the office of attorneys Winburn, Lewis & Barrow.[7]
