Mid-Century Architecture

GEORGIA: MISC. BUILDINGS

Flowercraft
Chamblee, GA
The Flowercraft florist shop appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s.

Georgia Welcome Center
Sylvania, GA
This Georgia Welcome Center is located at the GA/SC stateline on US 301. The was Georgia's first Welcome Center and was built in 1962. This was before I-95 was built. The Center gets few visitors now and the building is endangered. For more, see this website.

Sprong
Atlanta, GA
Cafe 101
Doraville, GA
Sprong is a children's shoe store.

Cafe 101 is a pizzeria. I believe before this, the building was used by a sub shop. [first photo, ca. 1987, thanks Eavenson Art]

These two buildings must have been part of a mid-century chain. Does anyone know what they were used for originally? I believe they may have been part of a bank branch chain which included the similar-looking Trust Company Bank in Atlanta. They also look somewhat like the Phoenix Financial Center rotundas in Phoenix, AZ. If there are other buildings like this, I'd sure like to know about them.
