Phillip Stevens of the City of Chattanooga tells us: "The Patten Hotel was designed by Walter T. Downing of Atlanta. The $2 million Hotel Patten was considered one of the most elegant hotels in the South when it opened in 1908. Made popular in the late 19th century by architects such as Louis Sullivan, the building had three visual divisions: a base consisting of two floors, a shaft of identical floors with a row of projecting bays creating a vertical emphasis, and an elaborate cornice producing a distinct point of visual termination. The building is currently used as housing for the elderly. Unfortunately the cornice was removed in 1991." The building is now named the Patten Towers.
