Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is the second oldest structure in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Designed by local architect William H. Parkins, the cornerstone was laid September 1, 1869 by poet Abram Joseph Ryan. It was completed and dedicated in 1873 .

Father Ryan is generally considered the poet laureate of the Confederacy. Surprised that bit of history hasn't been expunged.
