James Wingfield Golucke (1857–1907),[1] often known as J.W. Golucke, was an American architect based in Atlanta, Georgia.[2] His place of birth is unknown but it was either Taliaferro County or more likely Wilkes County to Cornelia Susan Wingfield and Edmund Golucke, a German cabinetmaker.[1] In 1878, he married Amulette A. Darracott.

Golucke was a self-taught architect who began practicing in Atlanta in 1891.[1] He worked alone and also partnered with Golucke & Stewart. On his own, he designed about 15 courthouses in Georgia. With partner George Wilson Stewart, he designed five Georgia courthouses and other buildings such as the Fitzpatrick Hotel.[3] Little is known about Stewart besides that he practiced by himself after 1900, including acting as an assisting architect for the Candler Building during its 1903-1906 construction in Atlanta.[3]

Many of Golucke's works, alone or with partners, are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[4]
