Description

Chattanooga TN The Afternoon Glow......by Reid Callaway
The Dome Building Flatiron Architectural Art

I am proud to announce that my images, "The Afternoon Glow" and "The Pickle Barrel Too" were chosen (2021) to appear as large signed art pieces in the lobby of the new Chattanooga VA Hospital. To God be ALL the Glory!

This flatiron shaped building at 731 Georgia Ave, in downtown Chattanooga, TN was built in 1892 and at the time was the tallest structure in town. It was built by Adolph Ochs to be the home of his newspaper, the Chattanooga Times, and the building was named at the time the Ochs Building. Many people called it the "Times Building" as a large neon "Times" used to hang from the dome.

Adolph Ochs went on to purchase and run the New York Times. Later, in 1947 the Chattanooga Times moved out of this location at the corner of East 8th St. and Georgia Ave. The new owners changed the name to The Dome Building.

Today, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is named a Tennessee Antiquity by the APTA.

The Fine Art America logo will NOT appear on your purchased image.
