Our firm was founded by B. Atwood Skinner in 1957. Skinner was born in Rock Hill SC and grew up in Charlotte NC. After serving in WWII, he graduated from NC State University in architecture and was editor of the NCSU yearbook. He worked for Walter Hook in Charlotte, and as many of Hook's projects were in eastern North Carolina, he chose to live in Wilson.
Skinner went on his own in 1957 and is most remembered for the BB&T headquarters building in Wilson. The building was constructed in the early 1960s with retail space and restaurants below and office space and rooftop gardens on the second floor. There was even a putting green on the roof!
