Description
Dating to 1941, this stunning structure is a fine local example of neo-classical architecture by perhaps the school's most renowned master, Philip T. Shutze. One of only a few non-residential buildings designed by Shutze in Atlanta, the Academy of Medicine is located on West Peachtree Street in the heart of Midtown. Six Tuscan columns support a dramatic portico, topped by a large caduceus symbolizing the medical profession. This building is a designated landmark, but is not open to the public.
