The Architecture of James Means

by William R. Mitchell, James R. Lockhart (Photographer)

James Collier Means (1904–79), known simply as Jimmy, was a Georgia architect of the “old school” and one of the last of the master builders, the original meaning of architect. The houses that Means designed and built in the early 1950s are the culmination of more than seventy years of Georgia classicism and fine examples of his craftsmanship.
