William-Oliver Building, Art Deco high-rise building at Five Points in downtown Atlanta, United States
The William-Oliver Building is a 16-story Art Deco high-rise on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta with geometric patterns and bronze entrance doors. Inside, marble floors and ornamental details spread throughout multiple levels.
The building was completed in 1930 and became Atlanta's first Art Deco skyscraper, designed by architect Francis Palmer Smith. It marked a new direction for the city's tall building design and influenced later developments.
Located in the Fairlie Poplar Historic District, the building shows how Atlanta's architecture shifted from Beaux Arts toward Art Deco design. Visitors can observe this transformation in the ornamental details and street-facing facades.
The building contains 115 residential apartments with original brass elevator doors and modern upgrades near public transportation. Proximity to stations and accessible entrances make it easy to explore the interior.
The building underwent a complete renovation between 1994 and 1996 before serving as a venue for the Olympic Games. This thorough restoration preserved its original beauty while adapting it to modern requirements.
