Summer NEWS 2017 Historic Homes We’ve Worked In 1079 Alco Street, N.E. By Brad Cruickshank Atlanta, Georgia 30324 We love to measure our work against the craftsmen of years past. So working in older homes, especially those with some history to them, is a special treat. We often encounter such treasures as high ceilings, speaking tubes, knob & tube wiring, plaster & lath, front and rear stairs, heart pine flooring, radiators, balloon framing and more. We are especially thankful to have had the opportunity to work in these fine old Atlanta homes: 1857 COBB CALDWELL HOUSE: 4600 Peachtree Road (the only house we’ve worked on with a cannon in the front yard). 1893 ROBERT WINSHIP HOUSE: 814 Edgewood Avenue, Inman Park. 13’ tall ceilings.

For more than sixty‐two years he headed the Coca‐Cola Company, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Woodruff amassed a tremendous fortune and was for years the richest man in Georgia and one of the wealthiest in the South. His wealth made him extremely powerful in political circles, and he came to dominate the city of Atlanta in a way unlike any other private citizen in any other comparable American city of the time.

  • Documenting a Property in Atlanta

    Documenting a Property in Atlanta

    DOCUMENTING A PROPERTY IN ATLANTA How and where do you research your historic building in the metro-Atlanta area? Detailed research into the history of a building involves more than determining its construction date and its style. It is important to know something about the neighborhood and era in which it was built, and for whom it was built. What was the owner's role in the community? What was his or her occupation? Was the building built for a prominent family or a working-class household? Was it built for speculation? Was a trained architect involved or was the design purchased from a mail-order house? What social events took place there? I. AGE The information discussed below is designed to help you find the answers to many of these questions about a historic property. A. Deeds (Land History) Deeds are land records that can be traced from the current owner backwards, from the known to the unknown. They include the name of the owner, the location of the property, sale price, and the date the property changed hands. Arrangement is chronological, in the order of entry. Normally deeds are indexed, but the indices are alphabetical by the name of the seller (grantor), listed in a "direct index" and the name of the buyer (grantee) listed in another index called the "reverse index." A sale or change of ownership is a good sign that a new building might have been built subsequent to the filing of the original deed, but only if this date correlates with the presumed construction date of the building.
