Wynne-Claughton Building (aka the Carnegie Building) - Downtown Atlanta, Georgia

The Wynne-Claughton Building, also known as the Carnegie Building, is a 12-story office building in downtown Atlanta. Designed as an office building by noted Georgia architect G. Lloyd Preacher and completed in 1925, the flatiron-shaped building is supported by a reinforced-concrete frame, which is reflected in the vertical piers and horizontal spandrel panels that define the building’s exterior. Its prominent west-facing corner is streamlined by smooth, round corner piers. The Wynne-Claughton Building is a Chicago School skyscraper in which the three-part exterior reflects the proportions of classical column with a base of storefronts, a shaft of repeating floors of offices, and a capital formed by the attic story. The exterior features Neoclassical Revival-style ornament in the carved limestone that frames the storefronts and in the elaborate pressed-metal entablature. This building was determined to be significant at the local level in the area of architecture because it is an excellent example of a tall office building built in Atlanta in the first decades of the 20th century. It was also significant at the local level in the area of commerce because of its association with the expansion of commercial activity north along Peachtree Street and because it provided office space to scores of small businesses & regional headquarters that needed to be located in downtown Atlanta in the early 1920's. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on March 26, 2012. All of the information above along with much more was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration that can be viewed here: catalog.archives.gov/id/93208410

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5000 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
