Administrative/Biographical History

The Atlanta based architectural firm Burge and Stevens was founded by Flippen D. Burge (1894-1946) and Preston S. Stevens (1896-1989) in 1919. Both men received their architectural degrees from the Georgia School of Technology. The Georgia Baptist Hospital, commissioned in 1919, was their first major project. Following Burge's death in 1946, James R. Wilkinson (1907-1981) became a partner and the name of the firm changed to Stevens & Wilkinson. The firm is known for their commercial and institutional architecture, notably the development of the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
