Architecture

Downtown Atlanta offers a wealth of architecture treasures, from some of the oldest buildings in the city to some of its most modern skyscrapers. Read more below or visit the web sites of the Architecture Book Center, Atlanta Preservation Center, Atlanta History Center, and Atlanta Urban Design Commission.

All descriptions on these pages are excerpted from Guide to the Architecture of Atlanta, produced by the American Institute of Architects and published by University of Georgia Press, 1992. Note: The book is over 15 years old and some of the property information has changed (e.g. the Omni was demolished). Please contact appropriate agencies (Urban Design Commission, Preservation Atlanta, etc.) for current status.
