1. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

As more fully described in this Designation Report, the Ormewood Avenue Landmark Building / Site (LBS) meets the following criteria for a Landmark Building / Site (LBS), as defined in Section 16-20.004(b)(2)(a):

Group I - Historic Significance: Three (3) total criteria - if qualifying under this group alone, at least one (1) criterion must be met.

The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) meets (1) criteria:

(2) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site is associated with the railroad transportation history / trend that directly contributed to and shaped the development of the City of Atlanta in particular, and the Southeastern United States in general. The city began as a railroad junction in the 1830s, officially incorporated as a city in 1843, and expanded to the largest city in Georgia by 1900. Built from 1899-1900, the Ormewood Avenue Bridge is on a southeast portion of what is now the Atlanta Beltline, which was the last portion of the railroad line to be built. This portion of the Atlanta Beltline was constructed by the Atlanta Belt Railroad Company (a subsidiary of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad) in order to bypass the already crowded city center railroad hub and was used to transport the raw materials and building materials that built Atlanta into the city it is today.

Group II: Architectural Significance: Eleven (11) total criteria - if qualifying under this group alone, at least five (5) criterion must be met.

The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site meets (6) criteria:

(1) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) clearly dominates and is strongly identified in the street scene as the gateway, boundary, but also a connector between the historic residential neighborhoods of Ormewood Park to the east and Grant Park to the west. Ormewood Avenue is one of four east-west streets that crosses the railroad corridor connecting Grant Park and Ormewood Park and in particular connects , SE to Moreland Avenue, SE to Flat Shoals Avenue, SE in . It is one of the few streets in southeast Atlanta to connect these three significant transportation corridors.

The neighborhood of Ormewood Park was developed starting in 1892. A construction boom following World War I resulted in prefabricated and catalog houses springing up in the area, such that development progressed with multiple architectural styles being represented in the neighborhood near the Ormewood Avenue Bridge. The neighborhood contains mostly 1920s to 1940s one and two story houses.

The neighborhood of Grant Park was developed in 1883 by one of Atlanta’s earliest settlers, Colonel Lemuel P. Grant. Colonel Grant set aside 100 acres of his estate to create the first public

Designation Report: Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) – Page 2 of 28

ATTACHMENT “A” TO THE NOMINATION RESOLUTION city park – Grant Park. Atlanta’s city limits expanded to include the park’s acreage, plus an additional 44 acres purchased in 1890 and in 1909, the Olmsted Brothers planned numerous developments for the park. Today, Grant Park is the oldest city park in Atlanta. The neighborhood of Grant Park is known for its Victorian architecture, however the area to the west of the Ormewood Avenue Bridge (which is the eastern portion of the neighborhood of Grant Park) contains mostly one and two story, 1920s to 1940s residences, indicating a later period of development. Grant Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated by the City of Atlanta as a Historic District under the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance.

As such, the Ormewood Avenue Bridge was present during the development of both of these historic neighborhoods. The Bridge was not present before the cultivation of these neighborhoods. The Ormewood Avenue Bridge maintains a visually prominent position along the Ormewood Avenue SE corridor due to its height, scale, and the grade of slope amongst the surrounding building fabric.

(4) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) invokes the stylistic attributes of Romanesque Revival that is extremely rare in the City of Atlanta. The wide rounded arch supported by massive engaged pilasters and a concrete “cap” imply elements of this high architectural style.

(5) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) has an exceptionally unique style as a closed spandrel deck arch bridge, and unique structure type as an early example of a cast in place concrete railroad bridge. (The remaining railroad bridges in the surrounding area are constructed of brick masonry or steel.) A closed spandrel deck arch bridge consists of solid, or closed, arch supported vertical sidewalls, or spandrels, and the traffic ran on a deck atop the arch.

“The most famous and prolific of the engineers who promoted such arches was Daniel B. Luten. He was one of the nation’s most influential bridge engineers of the early 20th century, a tireless promoter of reinforced concrete, and a shrewd entrepreneur who established a nationwide business of affiliated contracting companies specializing in his patented reinforced concrete bridges.” Luten Bridge Company did have an office in Atlanta, Georgia, however research has shown that he was still living in Indiana at the time of this Bridge’s construction. Unfortunately, no concrete evidence has been found to support who designed the Ormewood Avenue Bridge, and no plaque has been located on the bridge, although the design of this bridge is similar to those of Luten’s patented designs.

(8) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) is associated with significant advances in technology and methods of construction, specifically the use of cast in place concrete with internal steel reinforcement as a building methodology in a significant, load bearing structural manner. Considering cast in place, and reinforced, concrete dates back to the 1850s and started being used for bridges in the 1880s - 1890s, the significant strides made in technology in order to use the material in a structural manner and hold significant weight is noteworthy. Ormewood Bridge is an early example of cast in place concrete bridge not only in the City, but also the State of Georgia. The Ormewood Avenue Bridge is a tangible piece and visual cue to the iconic example of the railroad history that made the City of Atlanta. Not only including

Designation Report: Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) – Page 3 of 28

ATTACHMENT “A” TO THE NOMINATION RESOLUTION railroad and bridge construction technology, but also the advancement of the city’s, region’s and even nation’s, reliance on railroad transportation for goods distribution.

The United Avenue Bridge, constructed in 1914 on Confederate Avenue and renamed after the Civil War, was located south of the Ormewood Avenue Bridge as the only other remaining bridge that also utilized steel in its construction along the southeastern portion of the Beltline. The United Avenue Bridge was demolished under emergency order due to structural damage in July 2020. The structural damage included a crack in one of its steel support beams and the bending of several others, likely due to tractor trailer trucks coming into contact with the underside of the bridge due to height limitations. The demolition order was conducted by Atlanta Beltline Inc. with the Georgia Department of Transportation. Due to the demolition of the United Avenue Bridge, the Ormewood Avenue Bridge is now the last remaining historic bridge on the southeastern portion of the Atlanta BeltLine.

(10) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) has virtually all character- defining elements intact. The cast in place concrete with reinforced steel structure, the wide rounded arch, and the pilasters are all intact. There are remnants of a single railroad bed, including sections of rail, spikes and ties that can be found under the vegetation. Although the side railings are now missing, the iron posts are still intact.

(11) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site’s (LBS) original site orientation is maintained. The Ormewood Avenue Bridge has not been moved or been altered from its historic location crossing Ormewood Avenue SE. The adjacent neighborhoods’ streetscape close to the bridge, including road widths and setbacks appear to be consistent with the original and subsequent periods of development of each neighborhood reinforcing the integral visual relationship between the bridge and its surroundings.

Group III: Cultural Significance: Three (3) total criteria - if qualifying under this group alone, at least one (1) criterion must be met as well as least three (3) criteria from Groups I and II.

The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site meets (3) criteria:

(1) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) serves as a specific point of reference within the urban fabric of the City of Atlanta. Standing at approximately 38’-6” tall, it is one of the largest pieces of vertical infrastructure in Southeast Atlanta and is highly visible making it a benchmark for orienting oneself.

(2) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) is widely recognized by residents due to its massive size and its function as a gateway or boundary point between the Grant Park and Ormewood Park neighborhoods.

(3) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site’s (LBS) clearly conveys a sense of time and place and about which one has an exceptionally good ability to interpret the historic character of the resource. Though a relatively simple shape, that shape is un-mistakenly that of

ATTACHMENT “A” TO THE NOMINATION RESOLUTION a bridge. Although it is currently not in use as a railroad bridge in particular, it is very clear that it is tied to a railroad corridor and as such is integral to the railroad history of the City of Atlanta.

2. MINIMUM FINDINGS

The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) meets the specific criteria referenced in Section #1 of this report (“Eligibility Criteria”). Further, as more fully described in this Designation Report, the Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) also meets the “minimum criteria” for a Landmark Building / Site (LBS) as set out in Section 16- 20.004(b)(1) of the Code of Ordinances of the City as follows:

Section 16-20.004(b)(1) The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site possesses an integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, taking into account the integrity of the cumulative physical changes that occurred during the entire period of significance: 1900- 2014.

Section 16-20.004(b)(1)(a) – (c): a. The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, particularly for its association with railroad transportation history that directly contributed to and shaped the development of the City of Atlanta in particular, and the Southeastern United States in general; and c. The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, particularly its association with significant advances in technology and methods of construction, specifically the use of cast in place concrete with internal steel reinforcement as a building methodology in a significant, load bearing structural manner. Ormewood Bridge is an early example of cast in place concrete bridge not only in the City, but also the State of Georgia.

3. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY

The Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building/Site (LBS) is approximately 162’-0” in overall length (including embankments), 60’-0” of which is solely the Bridge’s length over the Avenue, and an approximate 38’-6” in east-to-west width between the Ormewood Park and Grant Park neighborhoods. The embankments are approximately 9’-0” in length. The Bridge’s opening is approximately 33’-0” in width and 31’-6” in height.

Completed between 1899 and 1900, the cast in place concrete and reinforced steel framed bridge features massive pilasters that flank the rounded arch opening. The concrete is painted a red hue (now faded and missing predominantly on the underside of the Bridge) and the pilasters are painted a cream color. The Bridge has been previously tagged with graffiti, and it is clear that cover up attempts have been made. The Bridge has suffered deterioration, causing the concrete to become

ATTACHMENT “A” TO THE NOMINATION RESOLUTION cracked and the reinforced steel to be exposed in select areas. The railroad bed is now a gravel pathway and there are no remnants of the railroad tracks or ties in their original location. A metal chain-link fence encloses the path from the edge of the Bridge. There is vegetation between the fence and the edge.

The embankments are covered with vegetation, including vast amounts of poison ivy on all sides. A make-shift access path on the northeastern side leads up to the top of the Bridge. The access path seems to have reused ten of the existing railroad ties to create steps, however most have since shifted, likely from running water due to rain. Significant erosion is located down the northeast side access path as evident by the movement of the railroad ties, exposed roots, and a short run of debris fence at the top of the Bridge.

4. DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY

In the July-December 1899 issue of “The Railway Age and Northwestern Railroader,” the Atlanta Belt Railway was mentioned. The Atlanta and West Point (A & WP) Railroad was being restrained by the courts from building a due to an amendment to its charter, stating that an independent company had been formed to undertake the work. The A&WP made a survey for a new line about 6 miles long from a point on the main line between Atlanta and East Point to a point near the eastern limits of the city. They purchased about half of the right of way for a total cost of $39,455 before the restraining order was issued. It is unclear why the amendment to the charter or the restraining order was issued in the first place.

As a result, the Atlanta Belt Railway Company applied for a charter to build a beltline about 30 miles long, beginning at or near Howell Station, on the northwest corner of the city of Atlanta, on the Western and Atlantic, Southern and the Seaboard - Air Line railroads, and proceeding south and east around the city in Fulton County, area and partly in DeKalb County, to or near a station on the line of the Georgia Railroad, known as Clifton; then north and west further around the city, until it reaches the beginning point. Once construction was complete the rail was leased to A&WP, which had been the plan all along. The capital stock was $500,000. The original Beltline had four different sections operated by different freight lines. Uniquely, the Ormewood Avenue Bridge was only ever operated by the Atlanta & West Point (A&WP) Railroad. This portion of the railroad was built in order to connect Hulsey Yard and Oakland City and also to reduce the amount of traffic moving to and from the “East Approach” through the downtown “Central Intersection.”

Hulsey Yard(s), located in what are now the neighborhoods of Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown, was once the main transfer point of traffic coming into Atlanta and three rail lines terminated there. Those rail lines were: the Atlanta and West Point beltline from Oakland City (sometimes otherwise referred to as Oakland Junction) from the Southwest, and the beltlines of the Southern Railway System and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad from Howell Junction on the Northwest. Hulsey Yard remained as a functional intermodal terminal, which utilizes both trains and trucks to transfer goods coming into the city. Operated by CSX, Hulsey Yard was the largest intermodal carrier in the United States until its impending closure in April 2020. To the disdain of its neighbors, Hulsey Yard re-opened as a Transflo facility, although at a much less capacity to what it once held.

Designation Report: Ormewood Avenue Bridge Landmark Building / Site (LBS) – Page 6 of 28

ATTACHMENT “A” TO THE NOMINATION RESOLUTION

Oakland City was a major rail yard located southwest of the Atlanta Beltline. Those lines were created in order to facilitate interchanges between Hulsey Yard and other rail yards, and also to reduce the amount of traffic moving to and from the East through the Central Intersection of the City.

“After a series of mergers, the line [that contains the Ormewood Avenue Bridge] eventually came under the control of CSX in 1980 and became colloquially known as “the sand train” for the material it delivered to eastside concrete facilities. Angel Poventud, a CSX train engineer and community activist, says CSX put the line out of service in May 2014.” After its obsolescence as a railroad bridge, it will become a portion of the Southside Beltline Trail.

The Ormewood Avenue Bridge is a tangible, visual cue to the iconic railroad history that made the City of Atlanta, not just for its railroad and bridge construction technology, but also the advancement of the city’s, region’s and even nation’s, reliance on railroad transportation for goods distribution.

5. PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE

Listed in The Railway Age on November 3, 1899, the Atlanta & West Point Railroad sold its right of way on the east side of the City, to the new Atlanta Belt Railway Company. Bids were opened and the contract for building has been let to the General Construction Company. The contract called for the completion of the railroad by June 1,1900, and work began on November 1, 1899. The period of significance extends from the end of construction and the start of service in 1900 until the CSX Transportation put the railroad line out in this portion of the Atlanta Beltline of service in 2014. The Ormewood Avenue Bridge continuously functioned as a railroad bridge for 115 years.
