W. W. Orr Building
The W. W. Orr Building, also W. W. Orr Medical Building and W. W. Orr Doctors' Building, is a landmark building at 478 Peachtree Street NE in SoNo, Atlanta. The Art Deco style building was designed by architect Francis Palmer Smith of the firm of Pringle and Smith. The building's namesake, W. W. (Wayman W.) Orr, was the president of the Atlanta Retail Merchants' Association for several years in the 1910s.〔"Lipstine Gives Dinner in Complement to Orr", ''Atlanta Constitution'', January 13, 1918〕It is currently part of the Emory University Hospital Midtown complex. The building is decorated with serpents and staffs, alluding to its function as a medical building (as which it still functions).〔
When opened in 1930 it was notable for its location so far from the city center, and marked the beginning of the northern section of Peachtree Street as an automobile-oriented boulevard. It was the city's second building built specifically for medical offices, after the Medical Arts Building.〔(''Atlanta Architecture: Art Deco to Modern Classic, 1929-1959, Volume 1'', Robert Michael Craig, p.32 )〕〔(''The Architecture of Francis Palmer Smith, Atlanta's Scholar-Architect'', Robert M. Craig )〕 The site had been occupied in the 1890s by a residence, that of J. Bulow Campbell, and thereafter by another building.〔(''Peachtree Street, Atlanta'', William Bailey Williford, p.138 )〕
