- Description:
- Atlanta's Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, built in 1873-80, helped to establish William H. Parkins as one of Georgia's leading architects. More than a century later, in 1982-84, the building was restored by architect Henry Howard Smith, the son of renowned Atlanta architect Francis Palmer Smith, after the church was damaged by fire.
Photograph of the exterior of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, completed in 1880 in Atlanta, Georgia. This design helped to establish William H. Parkins as one of Georgia's leading architects. Two towers of different heights and ornamentation rise from the front of the brick structure, and pointed finials crown the towers. The church exhibits elements of both French Gothic and English High Victorian Gothic architecture.
More than a century later, from 1982 until 1984, the building was restored by architect Henry Howard Smith, the son of renowned Atlanta architect Francis Palmer Smith, after the church was damaged by fire. - Metadata URL:
