You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Lamar Building''' is a 17-story [[skyscraper]] in [[Augusta, Georgia]]. It was scheduled to be completed in 1916, but the [[Augusta Fire of 1916]] forced crews to demolish the building and restart. It was finally completed in 1918. A [[Penthouse apartment|penthouse]] level was added in 1976, designed by [[I. M. Pei]]. In July 2011, the architectural critic [[James Howard Kunstler]] labeled it his "Eyesore of the Month", saying the addition is reminiscent of a [[Darth Vader]] helmet.<ref>James Howard Kunstler, [http://www.kunstler.com/eyesore_201107.html Eyesore of the Month] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202121034/http://www.kunstler.com/eyesore_201107.html |date=2011-12-02 )), July 2011</ref>

Pei's addition presaged the glass [[Louvre Pyramid|pyramid]] he designed for [[Louvre|The Louvre]] in Paris.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.n-georgia.com/nps-augusta-lamar-bldg.html |title=Lamar Building |accessdate=October 27, 2020))</ref>

The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Fire insurance maps indicate a height of 165' (50 m) to the top of the roof at the 16th floor, just beneath the penthouse addition.

It has been the tallest building in Augusta ever since it was built. The Marion Building stands next to the Lamar Building and has been called its "sister building".<ref>[http://www.emporis.com/application/?nav=building&id=lamarbuilding-augusta-ga-usa&lng=3 Lamar Building, Augusta, U.S.A.]((dead link|date=September 2022|bot=medic))((cbignore|bot=medic)) Emporis.com. Retrieved 2010-08-07</ref>

The Lamar Building was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1979.

== Restoration efforts ==
After sitting vacant for many years, the building was sold in June 2021 to Albany, Georgia-based developer Pace Burt.

Burt, who has worked on multiple other historic renovation projects in the Southeast, has released plans for the building to be converted into a high-end, multi-family development with under 70 units. <ref>((Cite web|date=2021-06-06|title=Historical Renovator Purchases Lamar Building|url=https://www.theaugustapress.com/historical-renovator-purchases-lamar-building/|access-date=2021-09-04|website=The Augusta Press|language=en-US))</ref>
