Walton Jackson Building – Gainesville, Georgia (1936)
Walton Jackson Building (1936). Gainesville, Georgia.¹

We’ll go with 1936 as the date for this fine building in Gainesville, Georgia, designed in the Classic Moderne style and elegantly clad in marble.

I suspect the structure was designed by Daniel & Beutell of Atlanta, who profited handsomely after Gainesville’s commercial district was substantially destroyed by a tornado in April 1936.² ³

Daniel & Beutell designed the nearby Hall County Courthouse and Gainesville City Hall — both are similar in style and appearance to this building. The firm also designed another project for Walton Jackson in 1936.⁴
