Lloyd Preacher. It was rehabilitated as a hotel in 2010.","why_significant":"The nomination argues local significance in architecture as an excellent example of a tall Atlanta office building of the early 20th century. Its three-part design follows the Chicago School column model, with a reinforced-concrete frame and Neoclassical ornament. It is also significant in commerce for its link to commercial growth north along Peachtree Street and for housing many small businesses and regional offices.","narrative":"Rising twelve stories at the corner of Carnegie Way and Ellis Street in downtown Atlanta, this flatiron-shaped building was completed in 1925 as a headquarters and office block for the Wynne-Claughton Realty Sales Company. Architect G. Lloyd Preacher gave it a reinforced-concrete frame, terracotta fireproofing and high-speed elevators. The exterior follows the Chicago School idea of a classical column: limestone-clad storefronts form the base, repeating brick-faced office floors form the shaft, and a pressed-metal Neoclassical cornice forms the capital. The company ran into financial trouble in 1925, and from 1928 to 1962 the Mortgage Guarantee Company owned the building, which later became known as the Carnegie Building. Tenants over the decades included retail shops, small businesses and regional offices. The building was listed for its architecture and its role in commercial expansion north along Peachtree Street. A 2010 rehabilitation kept the historic exterior and turned the upper floors into hotel rooms.","period_of_significance":"1925-1962","architect_builder":"G.
