Judges Comments: This design has classic proportions. The building has a great combination of textural and smooth stones. The combination of multicolor stone and grout help give the façade depth and richness.
Second Place:
Blount County Library
Mason Contractor: WASCO, Inc.,
Knoxville, Tenn.
Architect: McCarty Holsaple McCarty Inc.,
Knoxville, Tenn.
Judges Comments: A very interesting design for this library, incorporating basically a low profile single-story building with an elevated clock tower and circular entrance canopy. Each component has its own character. The usage of splitface masonry at the circular face brick column and pattern makes the entrance a focal point. A well deserved Second Place.
