- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Ivey and Crook. The architectural firm Ivey and Crook (1923-67) excelled in traditional architecture during a competitive period of eclecticism. The firm built residences, churches, and schools in Atlanta and LaGrange, and occasionally other locations in the Southeast. Their most popular and recognizable residential feature was the four-columned portico adorning single-story homes, a southern colonial image that looked to Thomas Jefferson's neoclassicism for inspiration. Churches were typically modeled on James Gibbs's St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London (1721-26) and displayed a colossal two-story portico, classical steeple, and aisleless basilica plan. The firm's school architecture was classically inspired, although restrained and always carefully balanced and composed.
