Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Leila Ross Wilburn (1885-1967) was an early 20th century architect, one of the first women in Georgia to enter that profession. Leila Ross Wilburn was born in Macon, Georgia. In the midst of the economic depression of 1895, her family moved to Decatur, Georgia. There, she attended Agnes Scott College and took private lessons in architectural drafting. After taking an architectural tour of the country, Leila returned home to join the Atlanta firm of Benjamin R. Padgett and Son as a trainee, making her one of only two Georgia women to work in the male-dominated field of architecture.At age 22, she received her first commission, a three-story building that became the YMCA gymnasium at Georgia Military Academy (now Woodward Academy). She continued designing single family homes and apartment homes throughout midtown Atlanta and Decatur, many designed in the Craftsman style that is still popular today.
