  • Documenting a Property in Atlanta
    DOCUMENTING A PROPERTY IN ATLANTA How and where do you research your historic building in the metro-Atlanta area? Detailed research into the history of a building involves more than determining its construction date and its style. It is important to know something about the neighborhood and era in which it was built, and for whom it was built. What was the owner's role in the community? What was his or her occupation? Was the building built for a prominent family or a working-class household? Was it built for speculation? Was a trained architect involved or was the design purchased from a mail-order house? What social events took place there? I. AGE The information discussed below is designed to help you find the answers to many of these questions about a historic property. A. Deeds (Land History) Deeds are land records that can be traced from the current owner backwards, from the known to the unknown. They include the name of the owner, the location of the property, sale price, and the date the property changed hands. Arrangement is chronological, in the order of entry. Normally deeds are indexed, but the indices are alphabetical by the name of the seller (grantor), listed in a "direct index" and the name of the buyer (grantee) listed in another index called the "reverse index." A sale or change of ownership is a good sign that a new building might have been built subsequent to the filing of the original deed, but only if this date correlates with the presumed construction date of the building.

  • The Viability of Local Designation in the Peoplestown Neighborhood
    FRIEND OR FOE: THE VIABILITY OF LOCAL DESIGNATION IN THE PEOPLESTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD, ATLANTA, GEORGIA by PAUL JOSEPH TRUDEAU (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT Local historic designation’s role in the revitalization of low-income, historic urban neighborhoods generally focuses on architectural rehabilitation and economic stimulation. The notion of preserving intangible elements in these areas is often overlooked, namely because of the negative impacts of urban renewal programs that drastically altered the racial and ethnic make-up of many of these neighborhoods from the 1940s to the 1970s. This thesis examines development and growth during this era in Atlanta, Georgia, and its impact on the in-town neighborhoods bordering the city’s Central Business District (CBD). Using national studies for comparative analysis, it will examine how local historic designation has impacted low-income neighborhoods across the country so to explore the viability and appropriateness of local designation in Peoplestown, one neighborhood near Atlanta’s CDB. The goal of this thesis is to determine whether local designation would be a contributor to higher property taxes, gentrification, or displacement in Peoplestown, which has experienced a self-generated revitalization effort that began in the 1980s.
