- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Burge and Stevens. Burge and Stevens (later Stevens and Wilkinson) was the initial partnership of an architectural firm, still active in the twenty-first century, which has enjoyed one of the longest continuous practices in Atlanta's history. Formed in 1919 by Flippen David Burge (1895-1946) and Preston Standish Stevens Sr. (1896-1989), Burge and Stevens began designing small suburban residences, often in simplified Tudor, colonial revival, or neoclassical styles. The practice evolved to become one of the most progressive architectural firms of the early modern period in the region. Soon after Burge's death in 1946, the firm's name was changed to Stevens and Wilkinson (1947), reflecting the prominence of associate architect James Wilkinson and the increasingly modern aesthetic and new direction already evidenced in the firm in the late 1930s.
