  • 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.

Since the SCMS conference was last here twelve years ago, the Society has seen both membership and the conference itself increase dramatically in size. This year in Atlanta we have twice the number of panels as we had in 2004. Our growth confirms the vitality of cinema and media studies, as well as its continuing importance to the academy internationally and to our increasingly globalized societies. I know from previewing the program that it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. Given the dazzling assortment of panels on tap for the five days of our conference, I hope you will find this year’s selection as exciting and stimulating as in years past. And as dizzying, perhaps, as you try to decide where to go next. To assist you in navigating the program we have arranged for everyone to have access to the Grupio app. Among other features, it allows you to view the entire schedule and then to create your own calendars based on the sessions you want to attend.

  • Summary of Proposed National Register/Georgia Register Nomination
    SUMMARY OF PROPOSED NATIONAL REGISTER/GEORGIA REGISTER NOMINATION 1. Name: Briarcliff Plaza 2. Location: 2.6 miles northeast of Atlanta city hall, the district is bounded by Ponce de Leon Avenue NE to the north and North Highland Avenue to the east. It straddles Cleburne Terrace NE to the west. 3a. Description: The Briarcliff Plaza shopping center was constructed in 1940. Located at the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue NE and North Highland Avenue NE, with Cleburne Terrace bisecting the center’s two buildings, it is part of the busy retail and commercial area known as the “Ponce Corridor.” Briarcliff Plaza is comprised of two separate buildings (1027 and 1061 Ponce de Leon Avenue) and the parking lot dedicated to the buildings. The site is approximately 2.27 acres, inclusive of the parking lot. Poured concrete sidewalks line the front and sides of each building within the district, and a sidewalk is also present behind the 1061 Ponce de Leon building. The sidewalks along Ponce de Leon Avenue, North Highland Avenue, and Cleburne Terrace feature planting strips, medium height trees, and bicycle racks at the front and rear of 1061 Ponce de Leon Avenue. The district’s two buildings are one-story and are nearly identical in design, style, and materials. The lower portions of the buildings are composed primarily of glass and metal storefronts framed in colored tile, concrete columns, and glass block walls. In 1983, the buildings were renovated, which included adding the colored tiles, constructing the half round columns applied with colored and clear tiles, installing new windows and storefronts, and creating additional storefront entries.
