Atlanta map section and photos of proposed marker site 31 2 Proposed marker text: The Granite Governor’s Mansion The Granite Mansion served as Georgia’s third Executive Mansion from 1924-1967. Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

The Atlanta Preservation Center's
THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

The Politics of Atlanta's Public Housing
THE POLITICS OF ATLANTA’S PUBLIC HOUSING: RACE, PLANNING, AND INCLUSION, 1936-1975 By AKIRA DRAKE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Planning and Public Policy Written under the direction of James DeFilippis And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY, 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Politics of Atlanta’s Public Housing: Race, Planning, and Inclusion, 1936-1975 By AKIRA DRAKE Dissertation Director: James DeFilippis The purpose of this research is threefold: to theorize the political viability of the public housing development as a political opportunity structure; to understand the creation, marginalization, and demolition of this political opportunity structure in Atlanta; and to explicate the movements from within the public housing development that translated to a more empowered residential base, and more livable communities in Atlanta, GA between the 1936 and 1975. The literature on the positive productive functions of public housing is interspersed within the literature on the politics of public housing policies (at the national level), the politics of public housing developments (at the local level), the production of a racial geography in the City of Atlanta, and the productive functions of welfare institutions (including, but not limited to, public housing developments). Further, this project attempts to understand empirical benefits of political opportunity structures, particularly as it relates to low-income and minority housing movements in the city of Atlanta. Theoretically, political opportunity structures provide a neutral platform for low-income city dwellers that have historically been denied the legal means to challenge neighborhood change, and participate in formal urban political processes ii and institutions.

HOLMES, AICP 404-330-6145 – FAX: 404-658-7491 Director www.atlantaga.gov Office of Zoning & Development MEMORANDUM TO: Zoning Review Board FROM: Keyetta M. Holmes, AICP, Zoning Administrator KMH SUBJECT: Z-19-125 for I-MIX Text Amendment DATE: August 13, 2020 An Ordinance to amend the 1982 Atlanta Zoning Ordinance, as amended, by amending Chapter 16A Section 16A-16.004(1)(A) Industrial Uses Required so as to reduce the mandatory percentage of industrial floor area per development; and for other purposes FINDINGS OF FACT: The I-MIX (Industrial Mix Use) zoning district was created via legislation 18-O-1707/Z-18-83 to allow a new industrial mixed-use district that permits a mix of industrial and non-industrial uses in areas previously and currently used for industrial. The district is designed to retain property in the City of Atlanta that has a current or former industrial use. The adoption of the district is consistent with the goals set forth in the 2016 Comprehensive Development Plan. Since adoption, however, it has been found that the 30% floor area industrial requirement prevents the district from being used. Given the current floor plate of industrial uses and the permitted principal uses that are allowed by the district the zoning classification is not being utilized. It is essential to sustain industrial areas because they play a significant role in the City’s economy and supports the need of an urban environment.
