Military Service[edit]
By the time that William arrived in the United States, his brother, Ernst, had already made it to America and served in the United States Army until he was released on medical leave. Upon arrival, William got a job in Atlanta, GA at a department store named Davison-Paxon. By 1943, Pulgram decided to enlist in the Army to help fight against the Nazi regime. Initially, he was rejected because he was not a United States Citizen. He then had to write letters to military leadership declaring that he volunteered to be drafted into the military. That petition was accepted and he joined the Army, participating in special services entertainment by playing the piano. He served for three years ending in 1946. He served in McPherson and Los Angeles.

Projects[edit]
The Huff-Feldman House was built in 1953, and is 3,000 square feet. It was remodeled in 1955,1958 and again once it was purchased by the Feldman's and restored by Margaret Gilchrist Serro and interior designer Herbert Brito in 2000. It is one of only five houses designed by Pulgram.

In 1970, he created the TRM (task response module) System. Eppinger Furniture, INC used in opening planning for offices. TRMs are similar to wall units in homes used to hold decorations, books, and stereos. A TRM can hold any necessary item while also allowing the occupant to add items to make them feel more comfortable. The TRM (task response module) was integral in facilitating an open office plan that was varied and module based.

Tampa Electric Company in Tampa, Florida. 1979. A main focus was the atrium overlooking offices.

Old Post Office in Washington, D.C. 1979. An adaptive restoration, the first project of its type in the U.S. government, it was completed as part of the Pennsylvania Avenue Redevelopment Project.

Hurt Building Redevelopment in Atlanta, Georgia. 1985. Ground floor arcade and art gallery.

Alma Desk showroom in Atlanta, Georgia. Associated Space Design created a space where each showroom has a different perception of the community. ASD allows the space to form different spaces. The spaces created double as offices for the showroom staff.

McDonald's Oak Brook headquarters is an interiors project where Pulgram removed the desks, and replaced them with task response modules that hold telephones, create writing spaces, drawing boards, and typewriters. There are few doors or walls, the space is separated by TRMs and cabinets. He created a ‘think tank’ where a hidden door led visitors to a small arena with a waterbed in the floor- where they can relax and take time to take care of their minds – creating a space where they can be creative. The space is created with irregular shapes and padded walls.

Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium is one of the project done by William Pulgram and his firm in 1965. it was designed by a joint-venture team of FABRAP (Finch Alexander Barnes Rothschild & Paschal) and Heery, Inc.

William and his firm Finch did quite a few of commercial buildings. Including the First National Bank (mid-1960s, with Emory Roth and Sons of New York), it was design to replace the Ten Eyck Brown's Peachtree Arcade (1916–17).

William’s firm Finch also help designed the headquarters of the Coca-Cola Company (1970, 1979, 1981) and Southern Bell (later BellSouth, 1980), the latter with Skidmore Owings and Merrill of New York.
