An excellent example of the early twentieth century approach to developing a "building as a monument," the Candler Building is significant in the field of architecture for its sense of completeness as a business structure, and in the field of art and sculpture for its elaborateness of detail.
Its luxuriousness is well-exhibited on the exterior of the building, which in a manner typical of the era in which it was built, is divided into three distinct parts: a two-story base, a twelve-story shaft, and a three-story capital with large overhanging cornice.
The first shipment of this material, which was used in both the interior and the exterior of the building, left the quarries on July 5, 1904, and on December 20, 1905 the cornerstone of the snow-white building was laid.
