The Wigwam Apartments in Atlanta are a rare example of International Style modernism located in the Martin Luther King Landmark District. The 7600 square foot eight unit stucco building was constructed in 1940 by Cornelius King to bring family together in a community environment. The property is listed as “saved among the threatned” by Docomomo. It’s name comes from the 3-foot tall, steel cutout of a Native American chief standing on the corner of the roof. The Wigwam Building is one of Atlanta’s 100 most important buildings according to Judith Knight who purchased the building in 2003 from the King family and proceeded to restore the building in 2004. Judi has won numerous awards for her wonderful restoration of the Wigwam. Read more about the Wigwam Building at the Georgia Trust for Historical Preservation.
We adore this quirky old building that seems so out of place but so in place in the Old Fourth Ward. The area is hip and on the verge of making it big. This tumblelog is about the Wigwam, Atlanta and the Old Fourth Ward. It's about our space in the place and what we find interesting. It's random.

I stumbled across this blog and quite fell in love with this picture...and bonus! A Maria Germanova sighting! (I now routinely come across her pale, striking visage in the most unexpected places.)
