Photograph from December 1957 in which Ivan Allen Sr. (right), honorary member of the Georgia chapter of the American Institute of Architects, shows C. A. Smith, chairman of the chapter's awards committee, the trophy he has donated. In 1900 while still in his mid-twenties, Ivan Allen cofounded the Atlanta office supply firm later known as the Ivan Allen Company. Through the "Forward Atlanta" campaign of the 1920s and many other activities, Allen became the city's quintessential booster. His son, Ivan Allen Jr., carried on this civic tradition as mayor of Atlanta in the 1960s. - Metadata URL:
