W. W. Orr Building, Art Deco skyscraper in SoNo, Atlanta, United States.

The eleven-story W. W. Orr Building features concrete construction, steel service core, and subtle ornamental details with scientific motifs on its exterior facade.

The building, completed in 1930 by architects Pringle and Smith, became Atlanta's second medical office structure following the destruction of a previous facility by fire.

Medical symbols of serpents and staffs decorate the building's exterior, reflecting its continuous role in Atlanta's healthcare community since its construction.

Located at 478 Peachtree Street NE, the structure operates as part of Emory University Hospital Midtown and maintains medical offices throughout its floors.

The City of Atlanta designated this structure as a Landmark Building in 1989, preserving its original character despite considerations for demolition in the 1990s.
