(b Columbus, GA, 18 Aug 1890; d Atlanta, GA, 17 Oct 1982). American architect. He received degrees in architecture from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta (1912), and Columbia University, New York (1913). In 1915 he won the Prix de Rome and subsequently studied at the American Academy in Rome from 1915 to 1920 with some interruptions for service in World War I. This thorough academic training uniquely prepared him for his career as a classical architect. After completing his studies in Rome, he worked in Atlanta and New York, finally settling in Atlanta and accepting a partnership with Hentz, Adler and Shutze (1927–44), later practising as Shutze and Armistead (1944–c. 1950) and Philip Trammell Shutze, Architect (c. 1950–60). Shutze’s firms received approximately 500 commissions for residential, ecclesiastical, institutional and commercial buildings. Most of his designs in the 1920s, such as the Edward Inman House (The Swan House), Atlanta, were developed from Italian Baroque precedents. After the Depression he employed the reserved details of the English Regency style in most of his projects; however, as late as 1945 he used the Italian Baroque in the Whitehead Memorial Wing of Emory University Hospital, Atlanta. Shutze abhorred modernism, and its popularity precipitated his premature retirement from active practice. His adherence to classical principles marks his career as the primary example of the survival of classicism in the USA.
