Winecoff Building (Atlanta, Georgia)
georgiaj recommends this site:
WINECOFF BUILDING (1913). 176 Peachtree St. This commercial building with Beaux-Arts details was designed by New York architect William Stoddart for hotelier William Winecoff. Considered one of the city’s finest hotels when it opened, the Winecoff has long been synonymous with tragedy. Early in the morning of December 7, 1946, a fire swept through the hotel leaving 119 people dead, including owner Winecoff. It remains, today, the worst hotel fire in U.S. history. After years of neglect, the building is under restoration.
