  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2018 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies he idea that a city is a place to perfect an individual is an ancient one. In a true city, there will be the cooperative community, resources, and circumstances to aid the indi- Tvidual citizen in reaching and realizing his maximum potential. Te citizen attains virtue and this worth, in turn, becomes an asset of the community. Last year we celebrated the ladies who invented preservation in America and discussed their use of preservation as a means to hold up models of civic and national virtue to serve as guides to virtue and to elevate all Americans. In an environment where preservation is justifed almost exclusively by proft potential, the origins of our preservation movement may seem anachronistic. It is the resonance of the past and the evocation of past virtue which may be the broad-based appeal of historic material and reference—the sense of the true, the historically reliable, the secure sense of place. Tis year our Keystone Awards celebrated gentlemen who followed the classical tradition of demonstrating virtue through contribution to their community. Our heroes have made these actions through the wide scope of preservation in Atlanta. On pages 4 and 5 you will see the range of these gestures, proof of virtue in our City. We hope that you will enjoy our presentation of Phoenix Flies events this year and will express your appreciation to our many partners for their eforts. F.

  • Jacksonville's Downtown Historic Buildings Tour
    DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE HISTORIC BUILDING SELF-GUIDED TOUR INTRODUCTION Welcome to Jacksonville’s Downtown Historical Building Tour. The architectural history of Jacksonville’s Downtown area is very unique due to a 1901 cataclysmic fire that burnt down the majority of the Downtown area and sparked an architectural renaissance which changed the face of the city. Within this Downtown tour are four tour loops, we hope you will choose to explore them all, but if you have time for only one, that’s great too! The first three loops are very manageable as walking tours, but we suggest that Loop #4 is done as a driving tour since they pull together several buildings located on the outskirts of the Downtown area. We have chosen many historical buildings to include in this tour, but we couldn’t include them all, so we welcome ideas to those you feel should be added. This Downtown Historic Building Tour would not have been possible without the support and effort from Councilwoman Lori Boyer, the City of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Historical Society. Much of the information gathered for this tour would not have been possible without the book Jacksonville’s Architectural Heritage: Landmarks for the Future which was created by the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission and Written and Designed by Wayne W. Wood. These tours are also featured in Visit Jacksonville’s free App which can be downloaded through the Apple store or the Google Play store. Within the app an audio tour accompanies each tour stop. Now get out and explore these historic buildings! 2 JACKSONVILLE HISTORIC BUILDINGS T O U R L O O P 1 1|Dyal-Upchurch Building ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Renaissance Revival 6 E.
