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. -

Gateway OVERVIEW
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DRIVE INNOVATION CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Request for Qualifications Gateway OVERVIEW • The City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs invites artists and artist teams to submit qualifications a site-specific Gateway artwork that will be installed near the entryway of Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive at Northside Drive in Atlanta, Georgia (opposite the Mercedes-Benz Stadium). The artwork will be 170 feet from the entryway of the 7.2 mile east-west corridor that connects points of interest such as the new Mercedes Benz Stadium, the Atlanta University Center, the Atlanta BeltLine, Westview Cemetery, and several MARTA bus stops. The sculpture foundation, design and constructions costs including lighting must be integrated into the budget of the artist selected. • The area’s culture is internationally significant. It was home to intellectual leaders of human rights, including W.E.B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, and the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. • The Renew Atlanta initiative that is sponsoring this installation along with several others along the corridor will address vehicular and pedestrian safety concerns, provide additional pedestrian and bicycle access through the implementation of new multi-use trails, and introduce a new linear park along the corridor in addition to several public art installations. The goal is to transform MLK, Jr. Drive into an art filled pedestrian and bicycle friendly corridor with improved access to the Atlanta BeltLine and MARTA bus service. • Years of community-driven planning, detailed analyses, stakeholder support, and political and financial commitment have come together and integrated social justice to transform the corridor in the heart of Atlanta into a world-class “boulevard.” The goal of the coming together of these entities is to transform through tailored, multi-modal improvements and complementary workforce capacity building, business recruitment, socio-cultural preservation, and green infrastructure. -
Cascade Avenue/Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard Cascade Avenue/Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard
Cascade Avenue/Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard Cascade Avenue/Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard Theme The intersection of Cascade Avenue and Ralph David Abernathy is a commercial center at the junction of three historic neighborhoods: West End, Cascade Heights (today Westview) and Oakland City. Its development is typical of early 20th century commercial districts, with many local businesses, public services and civic institutions. Many of these resources remain today. Developmental History The Cascade Node of the Southwest Quadrant of the Beltline consists of Ralph David Abernathy Boule- vard, where it intersects with Cascade Avenue, and continues along Ralph David Abernathy to the east, running to the south of, and roughly parallel to I-20. Atwood Street forms the eastern edge of the node, while the western edge of the node extends to Oglethorpe Avenue. There are a number of neighborhoods and communities which are encompassed by the node. One of these is West End, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood got its start with the Whitehall Inn, which by the 1830s, had become the first polling place and post office in the area. At that time, Atlanta was still known as Marthasville. Following the Civil War, the area became home to many railroad workers moving south from downtown Atlanta near the railroad hubs. This is a pattern similar to the pattern of settlement of the Pittsburgh area in the University node following the Civil War. Many wealthier Atlantans began moving to West End and building their estate homes by the 1880s. However, in 1880, a large fire destroyed many homes in West End and thus laid the groundwork for West Endís incorporation as part of the City of Atlanta. -

Atlanta City Design: Aspiring to the Beloved Community
Our Future City The Atlanta City Design Aspiring to the Beloved Community Atlanta City Studio @ATLCityStudio #designATL “Atlanta is the leading cultural and economic center of the Southeast precisely because of our legacy of inclusion.” Mayor Kasim Reed, 2017 Identity “The aftermath of nonviolence is reconciliation and the creation of the beloved community.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1957 Equity Progress Ambition Access Nature 1 Equity Our challenge for Equity is the continuous, contentious, and often unappreciated work of ensuring that all the benefits of Nature, Access, Ambition, and Progress accrue fairly to everyone. 2 Progress Our challenge for Progress is to protect people and places with meaning from the market forces that will otherwise overrun them. 3 Ambition Our challenge for Ambition is to leverage the disruption of change to unlock new opportunities for people to do what they want with their lives. 4 Access Our challenge for Access is to update our hub of transportation for a new generation while also building a sense of community and place. 5 Nature Our challenge for Nature is to protect and expand the ecological value of our watersheds, forest, and habitat in the face of rapid urbanization. Urgency Metropolitan Atlanta is expected to grow by nearly 50% over the next couple of decades: from 5.5 million today to over 8 million. Urgency A larger region. A larger city. A lot more people. Not changing is not an option. The most strategic scenario for growth includes everyone. “If we want it to be, change is an opportunity to fuel the creation of the future we want.” Ryan Gravel, Founder of Sixpitch Design When we talk about design, we’re not merely describing the logical assembly of people, things and places. -

Atlanta, Georgia Cover: The 1895 topographical map of Atlanta and vicinity serves as the background on which railroads and suburbs are highlighted. From the original three railroads of the 1840s evolved the configuration of 1895; since that time, suburban expansion and highway development have dramatically altered the landscape.
