J. W. Golucke Explained

James Wingfield Golucke (1865–1907), often known as J.W. Golucke, was an American architect based in Atlanta, Georgia.

He worked alone and also within partnership Golucke & Stewart. On his own he designed about 15 courthouses in Georgia. With partner George Wilson Stewart (1862-1937) he designed five Georgia courthouses and other buildings such as the Fitzpatrick Hotel.^[1] Little is known about Stewart besides that he practiced by himself after 1900, including acting as an assisting architect for the Candler Building during its 1903-1906 construction in Atlanta.

Many of Golucke's works, alone or with partners, are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
