The Atlanta Paramount Theatre, which opened as the Howard in 1920, was perhaps the finest example of Palladian architecture ever adapted as a motion picture theatre. Originally conceived by Troup Howard and designed primarily by architect Philip Trammell Shutze, the theatre was raised in 1960. But its facade lives on in a gracious Palazzo-styled residence in Moultrie, Georgia. This is the story through written accounts and photographs of this theatre's unique journey and the vision of Robert Byrd Wright, Jr., owner, and architect William Frank McCall, Jr. who brilliantly adapted hundreds of pieces of limestone into one the finest classical American architectural statements of the Italian master, Andrea Palladio.
