1965, Greer, Holmquist, and Chambers; 2013 restoration and expansion, Cogdell and Mendrala Architects, with Wendel Duchscherer Architects and Engineers. 610 W. Oglethorpe Ave.
Recently renovated and expanded to serve as the Chatham Area Transit Authority headquarters, the center’s dynamic steel canopies evoke the spirit of mid-twentieth-century Googie architecture. The original building has a sturdy concrete frame filled with brick walls and roofed with precast, prestressed concrete T-beams. More exuberant is the Gray Line Tour pavilion (built in 1963 as the state’s second Georgia Welcome Center, attributed to Eugene Maxwell) to the west at 215 W. Boundary Street, where clusters of opposing concrete half arches support billowing thin-shell concrete vaults.
