- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about architect A. Ten Eyck Brown. A. Ten Eyck Brown was the prominent architect of public buildings in Atlanta for the first third of the twentieth century; he was rivaled only by Morgan and Dillon (later Morgan, Dillon, and Lewis). Brown built county courthouses in Spalding (1911, destroyed by fire), Fulton (1911-14, with Morgan and Dillon), Clarke (1914), and Cherokee (1926) counties. During the mid-1920s, as supervising architect for a group of Italian Romanesque revival public school buildings in Atlanta, he collaborated with the best Atlanta firms of the decade and produced some of the finest public school architecture in the region. His rejected design (1925) for Atlanta City Hall, a classical scheme he styled to be compatible with the adjacent Fulton County Courthouse, became the basis for his executed Dade County Courthouse in Miami (1925-28), built with August Geiger, for $4 million. Practicing out of Atlanta, Brown had branch offices in Jacksonville, Florida, where he built the Old Federal Reserve Bank Building (1923-24) with Henrietta Dozier, associate and supervising architect, and in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
