Thornton Marye.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is significant as the home of one of the oldest social organizations in the South, founded in 1883. It is also significant architecturally, because its low Georgian Revival form contrasts with the surrounding high-rises of Peachtree Center. It is one of few turn-of-the-century buildings downtown to survive rising land values and demolition.","narrative":"Located at Harris and Peachtree Streets in downtown Atlanta, the Capital City Club building is a four-story buff brick clubhouse in the Georgian Revival style, completed in 1911. New York architect Don Barber and Atlanta's Philip Thornton Marye were retained in 1910 to design it. The Harris Street front features a one-story projecting porch with a balustrade, arched lower windows with keystones, stone cartouches, a balcony on brackets and a cornice topped with acroterions. A later floor of different brick was added above the original cornice. The club was chartered in 1883 by sixty-two social and business leaders and first met in the John H. James mansion, which was demolished in 1913. It became a traditional center of Atlanta social life and hosted visiting notables, including three U.S. presidents. Its modest scale also offers visual relief among the surrounding high-rise towers.","period_of_significance":"1911","architect_builder":"Don Barber and P.
