Abstract
The Memphis International Airport was built in 1963 and designed by architects Mann and Harrover. It is located at 2491 Winchester Road in an area of Memphis outside the expressways. The airport is Modern in style and made of concrete. There are large concrete piers that mark the corners of bays that are forty by forty-four feet large. There are large, square, umbrella-like structures which give the building more depth and texture. The building is fairly symmetrical thanks to the repetition of the umbrella-like structures. For more information see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.
